Gary Mullen has been a lifelong Queen fan and has always been a keen singer. His career as Freddie 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. Gary 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 artist but immediately started to receive rave reviews and was encouraged by the audience’s reaction therefore in 2002 he created One Night of Queen and formed his band The Works. Since then One Night of Queen has gone from strength to strength and is 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.
