An Evening of Music and Song with Gerry Colvin

About

A fantastic evening awaits in the Atrium at Manchester Art Gallery, doors open at 7pm and you will firstly be entertained by the Gallery's very own Head Chef, Adam Leavy, with a set of instrumental banjo arrangements - ethereal Americana meets true Country magic!

The bar will be open all evening and after a short break following Adam's set it will be time for the wonderful Gerry Colvin Band to take to the floor!
Now in his fourth decade in the music industry, Gerry Colvin has carved a niche for himself in the folk world and established himself as a folk pop legend.
Gerry's live concerts are unmissable - he is without a doubt a great performer and raconteur as well as a brilliant songwriter and he is delighted to be performing in Manchester allowing his Northern fans to come to this city centre location.

"This man is unique and unforgettable. The songs are brilliant. He should be a household name. Go see him." Phil Beer, Show of Hands

By the early 1980's Gerry co-founded and fronted the legendary John Peel favourite skiffle-cowpunk indie outfit 'Terry & Gerry'. This seminal band toured Europe and the USA and appeared on countless Radio and TV shows including "The Tube" and "The Old Grey Whistle Test". Their five singles and album all reached No.1 in the indie charts.

In 2014 Gerry released a self-penned solo album 'Jazz Tales of Country Folk' followed by 'Six of One half a Dozen of the Other' in 2016 which features ten brand new original songs.

In 2015 Gerry reformed 'Terry and Gerry' and was invited to support Status Quo on a nationwide tour. Terry and Gerry also appeared at Glastonbury that year following the release of their new EP 'Dear John'.

The list of credits just goes on and on for this amazing talent.
