Gary, Richie and Ryan are serving members of the British military. Together they form part of singing trio The Soldiers, whose debut album 'Coming Home' was released in autumn 2009.
Their voices don't display great range - they're more karaoke belters than seasoned singers - yet predictably they have won the support of a certain sector of the public, performing at the Royal Albert Hall to a crowd of 6,000 in the lead-up to their album release.
The single 'A Soldier's Christmas Letter' was released in the lead-up to Christmas 2009, with partial proceeds going to the Army Benevolent Fund. This was followed by a successful UK tour.
