Marina Lake, Dixieland Hughes, Rosie O'Grady ...and Gaz Top - the stars of Apocalypse Rhyl

In 2013 Gareth was invited by Welsh star Caryl Parry-Jones to appear in her hit comedy series on S4C Caryl. Gareth (somewhat surprisingly) returned to the guise of Gaz Top in a string of comedy sketche called Apocalypse Rhyl. Gareth has since been invited to reprise the role in a second series being shot at the end of 2014.

In 2005 Gareth provided both the English and Welsh voice of the narrator for a permanent audio visual installation Frontiers at the Waterfront Museum in Swansea.
