GERRY Marsden, please!!!

Gerry and the Pacemakers, another Liverpool group that started round about the same time of the Beatles!

Better known for their song Ferry Cross the Mersey and How Do You Do It to some of us ;-)

RIP Gerry

RIP Gerry <3


You'll Never Walk Alone <3

I had a huge crush on Gerry when I was in my young - mid teens.
So sad :-(

RIP GERRY <3

He was starting in Liverpool when I went to university there.

I heard hi a couple of times, and always preferred Gerry and the Pacemakers or the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

RIP Gerry and thank you for fondly-remembered times. <3

I loved Geary and the Pacemakers they were my generation along with the Beatles Cliff Bennett and the Reblerousers along with a host of others the sixty s was the best time to grow up. When my daughter moved up to the Wirral with her partner and little boy the first thing I wanted to do when I went to visit them was to take a return trip from the Wirral to Liverpool by ferry but all the play over and over again is ferry across the Merseyside you do get a bit fed up with the tune


Rip Gerry thank for the memories <3

Wasn't the drummer with the Pacemakers Gerry's brother Freddie?

Linda ..........

I rode the ferry many times while I was at university in Liverpool between 1959 and 1964.

It was great fun ................. although the last ferry was usually to be avoided, unless you were in a group

Ah, I remember the Royal Iris and the Royal Daffodil very well and many times I have crossed the water on both of them - especially from my hometown to New Brighton when I was a child.

2020 was the first year my cousins and I were unable to meet up in Liverpool for quite a few years..... but 'We'll be back.' <3

Edit: Ioved that floating pier too; it was a lovely feeling.

One of our favourite ferry trips when I was younger was to Bidston Hill. As with New Brighton it meant a walk or a bus at the end but it also meant freedom to a child.

The one place I never visited as a child was Port Sunlight - finally caught up with that abour four or so years ago. This is where The Girls' Club picture (my current avatar) is from. It was particularly interesting because the sister of one of my cousins OH lived there for many years.

Thoughts of one of Liverpool's favourite sons can evoke a lifetime of memories.

Gerry <3

Yes Sharron - Freddie Marsden died some time ago.

Some great groups bands in the 60s & you could sing along remember the words a great time good memories of a great era RIP <3

as if we didn't already know that!

It's Liverpool FC *Anthem * the fans sing it with such gusto & when they get back on the Terraces should be a great tribute to Gerry <3

Rollo only a young man then ?

In his dreams methinks Barbara :-D

Not before my time Rollo. I remember seeing it at the flicks!

Barbra ......

it may be the song for soccer

but it is much more memorable when heard in its original setting.

I've seen it both on film back in the day and in a live show not that many years go

I'm sure Rollo is older than 25, which is about the length of time since I saw the stage show!

Sylvia, I love live shows of any sort - they seem to be much more inclusive,

I am not a musical fan but I also remember going to see South Pacific at the flicks when it came out. They were special films that were praised to high heaven in their era and I can remember the anticipation that we felt all those years ago.

Flicks! Always reminds me of my Mum and Liverpool aunts who never ever called them anything else.

Happy memories last a lifetime. <3
