Gerry's musical career began as a boy soprano, first performing in Kovanschina at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He then went on to learn the guitar and performed in bands as a rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist. His guitar playing embraces all styles - blues, folk, pop, jazz, rock and a little flamenco. From the late eighties Gerry became more involved with the creative side of music and his composing and song writing career began. His first album of instrumental music was released in 1992 and since then he has been involved in many musical projects including writing songs for solo singers and choirs, radio jingles and backing music for children's stories. Although not able to read or write the musical score, he composed a four-movement symphony, which was first aired on radio stations in the UK and more recently overseas. He has written songs for Connie Fisher (Maria in The Sound of Music), one of which she recorded and performed for Children in Need. Living in Cyprus for the last few years, Gerry's musical and writing career continues to flourish. He is working with an internationally known singer, writing and producing an album as well as composing another of his own instrumental albums. He is also performing again and is in demand as a guitarist, playing in various venues. Always looking for a challenge he has turned his hand to writing books and his first novel is nearing completion.

Synopsis: | Set against the vibrant, chaotic and colourful backdrop of London, horrific incidents occurred during the hot summer of 1888 that gripped the East End from Whitechapel to the 'Bohemia' of Hoxton. Behind a series of events, which almost brought this mighty metropolis to the brink of imploding in a social and media fuelled frenzy of fear and dread, hid the face of someone who was to become one of history's most infamous serial killers. Detective Constable John Beck and house maid Rosie Walker, two young lovers who themselves are forced to confront their own demons, must work together in an attempt to end a spree of carnage that would challenge and ultimately change the face and attitudes of this great city forever. | |||||

Synopsis: | Ripper, the Musical has a title that's crying out for publicity. OK, here goes. The show is energetically performed. Old London Town is suggested by church bells, clip-clopping horses and a chorus-line of actresses doing their best 'Italia Cockney' accents. There are lots of lines like, "Ear look! 'Er froatz bin kuh!' - which at least sound authentic. | |||||
