herrmarklepotz I've been trying to get hold of this for years. I bought the original vinyl when it came out but, sadly, that walked decades ago. Finding this is as close as I get to 'happy'! :-)

about

Gerry McAvoy, bass player extraordinary and former member of the Rory Gallagher Band.

The Gerry McAvoy Jams became notorious at the Bridge House, Blues at its very best, attracting top musicians who would hang about in the audience waiting for a nod from the bass man to come up and blow their piece. The bass player became a vocalist and started writing his own songs, he approached Bridge House Records to make a album. Yes sir, said Mr Murphy.

What Gerry did was record a live gig and then went into the studio with all our favourite players, Steve Waller, Stevie Smith, Dave Edwards, Graham Foster, Brendon O'Neill, Ted McKenna, Davey Smythe (who owned the studio he used),Lou Martin, Ron Cartney and Mick Eve.
He decided to make one side live and the other side studio based.
