"So off to Gary Stewart at Holy Trinity we trot. His upbeat folk-music is relaxed, unpretentious and well-played. It's not pushing any boundaries but it is enjoyable and we are able to chill-out for a little while before once again running off to the Met for Dinosaur Pile-Up..."-The Fly(Justine Trickett)
"Like Cat Stevens on Acid"-Leeds Music Scene. Gary Stewart writes and sings songs; sometimes on his own; sometimes with his band,which consist of Ruth Viqueira on drums,Matt Peel on bass and Andy Hawkins on electric guitar. He is from Perth, but currently resides in Leeds, where he has been carving a name for himself steadily for the past two years.
The Scot has supported fellow singer/songwriters such as Johnny Flynn,Laura Marling, James Yorkston, David Kitt, Nizlopi, Jacob Golden and Emma Pollock,The All New Adventures Of Us,Ross Ainslie and Jarlath Henderson,Joan As Policewoman and most recently,James at Leeds Academy.
Gary has recently been touring Ireland and Scotland in support of his new E.P "Tables,Trees and Tripods", which was released on the Littlest Mojo label in June. The E.P is available to download from i-tunes and some nice things have been said about it already;
"He plies his trade at the softer end of the folk rock brand, with a voice that has traces of Michael Stipe leavened with a Scottish burr. Big Ben is replete with sparkling guitars and harmonies on a tune delivered with panache..."-Jackie Hayden,Hot Press Magazine
"All in all an EP that could be described as lovely without being cringeworthy. An EP that's going to shake up this little scene of ours,with the best intentions at heart, of course..."-Maria Pinto Fernandes, Leeds Music Scene
"Gary played some sweet tunes off his EP called Tables, Trees and Tripods very folk pop sound and with a feel of an early Paul Simon very impressed with this guy live he went down pretty well on the sunny Sunday evening. *****"-www.musicreview.com
"Stewart's plaintive vocals,sung in his Scottish accent,are heartfelt and simple,while his band stir up a summery mix of Paul Simon-esque melodies and gentle folkish arrangements"-Tom Goodhand, Leeds Guide
