Born and raised in the Irish countryside, and now living in Liverpool, Gary Maginnis combines his experiences and observations to craft songs and stories that are both emotive and personable. Drawing from a wide range of influences across genres such as blues, folk, country and traditional Irish music, Gary Maginnis & The Like create a sound that is unique.

With his honesty and the occasional pun, appearing onstage as a solo artist or with his band The Like, Gary Maginnis puts on an entertaining show, where his strong songwriting skills shine through.

“Watching Gary Maginnis on stage is one of those rare pleasures in life, the softly spoken and the high value is enough to put a smile on your face even before the set begins, but there is something else raging deep inside the musician, a sense of serenity that might not be seen” Liverpool Sound & Vision
