Today the performer has confirmed a brand new run of shows which will see him perform a further 24 dates in 7 cities around the UK – including Portsmouth.
Gary said: ‘Now I’ve done shows where it has just been me and a keyboard. I’ve done shows where I sit and talk to people. I’ve done shows where I’ve performed as part of a group.
‘But this one, well, it’s like all of those, but none of them. When I walk out this time, it’s going to be a very different stage altogether.’
