Gerry Marsden At The “Red”

Gerry Marsden came to the Red Robinson Show Theatre and blew the house apart. Gerry last played here back in the late Seventies at the old Pizzazz Club in the International Plaza Hotel, just east of the Lions Gate Bridge. He sang all the fan favorites – Ferry ‘Cross the Mersey, How Do You Do It? and Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying. I found him to be a happy guy and it shows on stage. He has a wicked sense of humor and doesn’t take his success too seriously.

Gerry is one of the true icons of the British Invasion back in the Sixties and the music lives on. One fan in the audience had tatooed “Ferry “Cross the Mersey” on his back and flashed it at Gerry while he was performing.

One of Gerry’s favorite songs is You’ll Never Walk Alone from the Broadway show Carousel. It has also become the theme of his Liverpool football club. He is proud that they have adopted it. Some Liverpool football fans were in the audience and moved to the front of the stage during the performance waving Liverpool banners.  A most memorable night.
