Gary Armstrong Powell[1] (born 11 November 1969) is a drummer with the band Dirty Pretty Things. He was formerly the drummer for The Libertines and Eddy Grant. He has also played with the New York Dolls for their 2004 reunion shows.
He joined The Libertines in 2001 after being introduced to the frontmen Carl Barât and Pete Doherty by their then manager Banny Poostchi. Gary is now with the band Dirty Pretty Things with former Libertines bandmate Barât.
Something of a cult figure and fan favourite, due to his Adidas poppers and regular topless appearances, Dirty Pretty Things gigs are often punctuated by chants of 'Gary, Gary, Gary'.
Gary learnt his drumming skills as a child while marching in an American styled drum corps called Sunrisers in his native Birmingham.
Powell’s sister, Hope Powell has enjoyed fair success as the first full time head coach of the England women’s football team.
