of collection, “Decades”, that encompasses three decades of his solo work in
a newly Remastered format. This double album offers some of the best Hughes’
songs taken from his releases, “Precious Ones”, “Veritas”, “Once and Future
King Parts I and II” and his self-titled release “Gary Hughes”. It also
includes some rare tracks which were originally only released in Japan on

“It is great to step back into solo mode again for a short while. The songs
on my new ‘Waterside’ album are filled with light and shade. Very much
lighter than my heavier and deeper Ten material. We live in such testing
times and I have tried to create a piece of Melodic AOR that might lift the
spirits and allow for a little much needed escapism. There is definitely a
positive feel good factor to this collection of songs and I truly hope the
fans enjoy listening to it,” enthuses Hughes
The aforementioned feel good factor is never so prevalent as in the song
and video for the title track ‘Waterside’. Hughes explains, “The Waterside
video is a very straight forward jacket, jeans and Fender Telecaster affair.
A slice of Anglo-Americana. A nod back to the mid ’80s and the golden age of
laid back melodic rock. We enjoyed making this one immensely!”
Over the course of three decades in music, Gary Hughes has established
himself as one of England’s premiere Melodic Rock/Hard Rock singers and
songwriters. With fourteen TEN studio albums, one rock opera (in two parts),
and much more, the body of work that he has amassed during his career is
truly impressive.
Gary’s work with his band TEN offers a hard rock sound which is rooted in
the tradition of bands such as UFO, WHITESNAKE, and RAINBOW. Historically,
his solo material has offered a more melodic sound which has strong roots in
the late 80’s AOR and Melodic Rock scene. The new solo album,“Waterside,”
marks his long awaited return to Melodic Rock. This is also his first new
solo album since his“Veritas” release well over a decade ago.
Musically, this is what you would expect from Gary as a follow up to his
self-titled solo record and “Precious Ones,” but also it includes hints of
early Ten (the more melodic moments of “X” and “The Name of the Rose,” as a
reference point).
Assisting Gary in the creation of this new solo album are his Ten bandmates
Dann Rosingana (guitars) and Darrel Treece-Birch (drums), with David
Rosingana appearing on bass and Karen Fell and Scott Hughes helping on
background vocals.
If you like British Melodic Rock, then look no further, “Waterside” is an
awesome example of how truly stunning the style can be!
