Gary HUGHES is a hard rock act from the UK. Gary is of course the mastermind behind the band TEN. Hughes released his first album in his own name back in 1989 (Big Bad Wolf). Six further studio albums followed, including the rock opera Once and Future King, released separately as Part 1 and 2, based on the myths and stories of King Arthur, the legendary King of Britain. For this two-CD project he enlised a huge supporting cast, with various big-name vocalists playing "roles" in the story. Each song adds a layer to the intriguing tale and the dark story is told with conviction through the various singers. For the most part, the musicians behind Hughes and his guest stars are the members of Ten, ensuring that the music is high class.
