Gary's Profile
Experience Summary
I'm an outgoing and friendly guy with a very active social life. I enjoy watching and attending sports fixtures, particularly football and rugby. I also have a huge interest in music and have DJ'ed at several functions and venues across the U.K as well as msuci festivals, which I enjoy attending both as an artist and a paying attendee.
I have a passion for creativity and frequently write and perform my own material, particularly in the field of comedy. I am also an experienced events organiser, having been involved and leading on the organisation and delivery of several Summer Ball events at different Universities. View
