Gaz Brookfield, is a solo acoustic musician based in Bristol. In 2010 he won Acoustic Magazine's Singer Songwriter of the year competition, earning him a slot on the Big Top stage at the Beautiful Days festival.

Since the start of his solo career, Brookfield has had the pleasure of gigging and/or touring with Frank Turner, Newton Faulkner, The Levellers, The Ataris, Mike Herrera (MXPX), Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife), Jonah Matranga, I Am Kloot, Miles Hunt, Dodgy, Jim Lockey, The Solemn Sun, Dave McPherson, and many more.

In December 2011, he became the first and only unsigned solo act to sell out The Fleece, Bristol. He has done this twice more since then.

Gaz recently toured the UK's O2 Academies with The Levellers, where he broke all the venue records for numbers of albums sold by a support act every night (upwards of 60 albums sold per night). This secured him yet more tour dates with them in Europe in May 2013 and the UK in June 2013.

With 1000 gigs under his belt to date, he continues to tireless tour the UK, proving that the "journeyman" title is more than a simple metaphor.

Gaz usually gigs solo but sometimes has his fiddle player Ben Wain with him live.
