Sad news indeed
Saw Gerry in concert on two occasions including Fallsview Casino in 2004 and 2008 at Rama
I can attest to the fact that he had a solid handshake !!
Always enjoyed his music
May he rest in peace

This one, the first big passing of the New Year, really hurts. Next to the Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers were my favorite British group. I remember spending literally years searching for their greatest hits album, back when records were the only thing you could buy. I could never seem to find it, until one day, in a record store, there it was in that shiny plastic wrapped envelope.
It was a British import and it cost a lot, but I had to have it. And what a great LP it was, with all their hits and a few on it I'd never heard before but came to really like.
I even stayed home one New Year's Eve because some local TV station was showing the movie "Ferry Cross The Mersey" at midnight and in those pre-VCR days, that was the only way to see it. I was a big, big fan of Gerry Marsden. I'm truly sad to hear he's gone. But luckily he leaves behind a ton of great music. And somewhere upstairs, I still have that album.
