SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I have been singing my way around the continent for the last fifty years. My first public performance was at the age of 16 in a local Estate Pub. When my mother found out, she gave me a clout around the ear-hole, but always knew his talent and pushed him forward to greater things.
A few years in a local Derby rock band, Isis Yak, I got the taste for treading the boards and Gerry moved to London in late teenage years on the start of a career on stage.
Going solo, I secured gigs around the Derby and Nottingham area and after a short stint as compare at The Talk of The Midlands, Derby, Gerry headed south.
My professional debut in the south was at the Top Hat Club in The Strand, London, where I was secured as Resident Compere and Band Vocalist. After a couple of years I moved on to secure a contract with a famous British Holiday Camp organisation where I learned all aspects of the trade. After a few years here, I then found himself on the QEII entertaining holiday makers afloat.
While afloat, I was spotted by a Newcastle upon Tyne agency and secured a contract performing in the Clubs of the North East. As I always say, "This was the finest apprenticeship an entertainer could possibly have."
Following this, I spent the next 14 years entertaining up and down the UK with great success.
Some time was spent in Spain, Germany and Greece performing in tourist areas whilst also performing for both UK and American armed forces.
Upon my return to the UK, a contract to perform at International Embassies in London followed, and I performed for Kings, Queens and Politicians from around the globe.
In the past, I have appeared in variety shows with stars such as Tommy Cooper, Little and Large, Vince Eager, The Black Abbots, Shirley Bassey and many other luminaries.
These days, I am content to sing in front of appreciative audiences wherever they might be.
