"The lovely Gary Bland entertains us at the Royal Variety Club's Brinsworth House. He has a great voice and an infectiously happy personality! I definitely recommend him for excellent entertainment."

Kay Carman
Executive Committee Member and Head of Entertainment for
The Royal Variety Charity

"Gary's character has a frequent reprise of 'A Man Doesn't Know', a tribute to the love, faith and support of his onstage wife. I hope he goes home every night and serenades his offstage wife with it too."

Terry Paddock

"The most beautiful baritone voice I have ever heard"

"Mellifluous describes Gary's voice very well."

Mike Dixon
Musical Supervisor & Conductor
(West End, BBC & Royal Albert Hall)

"After a promising debut in Damn Yankees at the Landor, he is taking his first lead and doing a terrific job. He has a most pleasing baritone, bolstering the sincerity and honesty of his acting. He could easily have overplayed his gently drunk scene at the end of Act I but got it spot-on."

Jeremy Chapman
Musical Theatre Review

"Bland's warm tone and crystal-clear voice is perfectly suited. He's also incredibly likeable as a performer: natural and relaxed, welcoming and inclusive."

Craig Glenday
Musical Theatre Review

"Not only can he sing, but he can tell a story and instinctively connect with his audience. A thoroughly enjoyable night out."
