Met Gerry when Billy introduced him into the Humblebums with Tam Harvey.....He took them in a totally different direction....muych to Tam's disgust.

The club audiences didn't take to Gerry for a while....his beautiful contemplative,compositions were hard work efter half a crate o' Tennants lager!

I still look on him and Joe Egan as two of the very best contemporary folk writers and performers.
Gerry's music suffered I feel, from over production...too much going on for folk and too intellectual for the pop masses.
Gerry rates "The right moment", not "Baker Street" as his best composition and I agree 100%....I can never go very long without putting on the "Sleepwalking" LP, closing my eyes and letting memories of lost love come flooding back.

All the best Gerry, we'll never hear the West of Scotland spirit better expressed....Ake.
