About Gaz

Hi I'm Black Country Gaz. I'm a singer, songwriter and artist Born and bred in the Black Country 1958, A Tiptonian child. I remember loving music from the early sixties, my first guitar was a Hofner Committee which was bigger than me. I wrote my first song around thirteen years of age, my older sister Melody asked me how I could write songs like that at my age. I played in local club bands with other Tiptonians, one being Eric Cox, and my cousin Jackie.
Simply the best time of my life!

There's always been artist in me; my first job was as a sign writer. My first Glastonbury Festival experience was in the mid eighties, and I have produced several oil paintings of the festival. Glastonbury Festival where kind enough to let me have an art gallery there three years running 2008 - 2010. Displaying my paintings there was an amazing experience, especially as I could watch all the acts from my gallery which was facing the Other Stage. I made many friends there and at other festivals who have let me display my paintings. I hope to get painting again in the future when my musical interest settle down a little.
