Gary (alias Piet Pers, Bokkie Buys etc) is a South African singer and songwriter who first came to prominence in the late 1980's at a time when a real protest-music culture emerged from the Afrikaner community in South Africa. This "movement" had a name: Voëlvry, and it was born at Shifty Records' home-studio, south of Johannesburg. Gary had a trio around this time, The Kerels, that used to perform at Jameson's in downtown Johannesburg alongside James Phillips and the Cherry Faced Lurchers. The Kerels released their debut, "Ek Se" in 1988, on Shifty Records and a year or so later the landmark Voëlvry compilation album was released and a tour to promote the album was undertaken. Gary was by then the bass player for Johannes Kerkorrel's Gereformeerde Blues Band and was renowned for wearing tiny rugby shorts onstage, irrespective of the weather. Sometime after the Voëlvry tour, Gary invented a "whisky sodden ou" who he called Archie Pelago and in 1991 the Archie Pelago album, "City Country" was released on Underground Records. Jannie 'Hannepoot' van Tonder and Willem Moller, both fellow Voëlvry survivors and ex-GBB appeared on the album. In 2003 he collaborated with ex-Kerels drummer Neil Fishwick (with whom he grew up and attended the same primary and high schools in Germiston) on the critically-acclaimed Blomkrag project and released the album "Boerecountry". Gary also played bass on Koos Kombuis' "Niemandsland" album. He worked for twelve years at Hillbrow Record Centre and later founded South Africa's first truly independent music distributor, Tic Tic Bang, in the 1990s. Tic Tic Bang was very successful in representing South African artists such as Henry Ate/Karma, Koos Kombuis, Johannes Kerkorrel, James Phillips, Mzwhake Mbuli and Jennifer Ferguson amongst others. Gary has also written a number of screenplays for film and television.
