THE legendary hits of seventies and eighties icons Queen will be given the full treatment at this year's Live@Troon festival.

Gary Mullen and the Works will present One Night of Queen at Troon Concert Hall on Sunday, September 9.

A lifelong Queen fan, Gary has always been a keen singer.

His career as Freddie Mercury started in 2000, when his wife and his mother secretly applied to the Granada TV show Stars in Their Eyes. Gary won the overall Live Grand Final, polling 864,838 votes, more than double the runner up and setting the all time record for votes on the show. He is featured in the Stars in Their Eyes video, CD and book and has represented the UK on Euro Stars in Their Eyes.

After the television experience, Gary performed as a solo artists but immediately started to receive rave reviews and was encouraged by the audience reaction so much so that in 2002, he created One Night of Queen and formed his band The Works.

Since then, One Night of Queen have gone from strength to strength and are one of the hardest working bands in the land. For the last five years they have consistently performed over 150 shows per year in a variety of countries.

Gary was personally invited by Brian May to attend the Queen & Paul Rodgers show in Cardiff and was thrilled to be introduced to Brian backstage after the show. For the first time in Gary's life he was left speechless by the great man.

Gary has recorded various voiceovers for radio, television and computer games. He has recorded an album of original material with long-term songwriting partner Barry Kelly called "Blood,Sweat and Beers" which is available to purchase on iTunes.

Gary keeps himself in shape by lifting weights on the road and also enjoys practising yoga. When he does get time off Gary enjoys spending time with his wife and three children.

Having already conquered the UK, Europe, USA and New Zealand, Gary and One Night of Queen are looking to explore new opportunities in South America, Asia and Australia in the near future.

'One Night of Queen' will be performed as part of Live@Troon 2018 at Troon Concert Hall on Sunday 9th September.
