Biography

“Gayle Ackroyd clearly enjoys herself on stage. She is professional, polished and has a radiant smile that would stop traffic.” T.O. Nights
Guitar slinger and blues singer Gayle Ackroyd “a whole lot of tender and a little bit tough” as Lenny Stoute of the Toronto Star once called her, belts out the blue eyed soul with intense energy, grit and class all at the same time.

You Tube has some fantastic footage of her performances with Jeff Healey
