Gar Cox

One man and his guitar is the banner under which I travel. I've been playing guitar and singing songs for centuries, from bands to ensembles to duos. Normally focusing on the folkie side of life with a little disco and a twisted tail feather shaken in. From the old days busking and playing on trains, to cathedrals and registry offices - I could list place names all day but the story is the same.

Songs about the world we live in, about how we feel about it and how we feel about each other and ourselves. What makes us tick and what makes us sick, and how we do what we do-do-be-do-be-do. Years and years playing in Paris, Edinburgh and Dublin - love does awful things to your geography. The EP "Support Your Local Bookshop" ("Beguiling [...] Top-notch tunes" - Hot Press). I recorded with Pete Pamf, Pawel Grunzien and David Turpin, on a tour of Ireland's independent bookshops to play my songs.
Futher recordings with Gavin Glass, Brian Brody and a host of other people.

Returning from singing at a wedding in France, a mild midlife crisis on a ferry led to a long overdue dive into education and a brush with Post-modern criticism and the ancient classics, which has led to burst in the production of songs for the new Lesser Known Men Of The Bible album, due for release, July 2026.
