"...best of all, he sounds like Gary Williams and not like anybody else." Radio 2's Malcolm Laycock
"...he displays a versatility on stage, coupled with a genuine ability to make songs his own, however well known the originals" The Stage
"He is following in the Sinatra, Bennett, Cole style without imitating any of them" MFR Radio
"There is no attempt to imitate the talents of the “greats” because this is a stand-alone performance by a singer at the height of his powers." Perfectly Frank Magazine, review of Alone Together
"And not only is he a brilliant singer; he also puts the audience at ease. A lot of artists are not good at being themselves when not singing – Gary is as relaxed chatting as he is singing, and he’s funny too. Don’t miss him." Michael Darvell, Pizza Express Dean Street, Review
"Every song he sang was word and note perfect and confirmed the belief of many in his audience, now surely his “fans”, that he is the best young singer of the Sinatra era of melodies in the country, if not the world... his presentation of all of these well-loved classics was performed with a panache which would have pleased ‘The Guv’nor’ himself." The Sinatra Society UK
