Having initially studied classical guitar at Napier University, Gordon Ferries went on to study at the RSAMD where he specialised in lute and early guitar music. He has now established himself as one of the UK's leading exponents of the baroque guitar. Gordon has worked for both television and radio: arranging and performing music for the Radio 4 production of The Dreamer of the Calle de San Salvador, featuring on Scotland's Music with Concerto Caledonia and for BBC 2 television.

He has performed in venues and festivals across the UK and Europe both as a soloist and in ensemble, appearing with the Scottish Ensemble, the Scottish Early Music Consort, the Edinburgh Quartet, Symphonie de plaisirs, and Fires of Love, with which he has recorded two CDs, and his new baroque ensemble Lord Rochester's Monkey with Frances Cooper, John Kitchen and Mark Summers had its first performance at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe.

Gordon also recently played on the acclaimed album Spoils and the accompanying EP The wyrd meme by Scottish songwriter and guitarist Alasdair Roberts. Gordon's fourth solo recording Di chitarra Spagnola featuring guitar and theorbo music by Bartolotti was released on Delphian Records in 2010.

Gordon has been awarded two grants from the Scottish Arts Council towards study at the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, researching the baroque guitar; the fruits of which appear on his much lauded solo recordings. Gordon is also much in demand as an educator and is involved in teaching young people in many musical styles.
