Gary Óg, from Glasgow in Scotland, has been one of leading figures in Irish rebel folk music for 30 years. 

Óg developed his craft growing up among an Irish community, who in past generations had immigrated to the area in the hope of a better life. 

“Many people, who were just off the boat from Ireland, settled in the Gorbals,” he said. It was from these working class streets in Glasgow that he developed his penchant for Bob Dylan, Christy Moore and ballads of Irish freedom. He burst on to the scene with his first band, Éire Óg and their now iconic debut album Live at the Brazen Head influenced a generation of bands and musicians.

Since then, Gary has built up a worldwide following; he has released a number of albums and has toured extensively across Europe, America and Australia as a solo singer and with his other bands. Gary’s unique voice, musicianship and showmanship has made him a hugely popular act.
