Gerry McAvoy, bass player extraordinary. A founder member of the Rory Gallagher Band, he joined Rory after he moved on from Taste, a great bass player. He was living at the time local to the Bridge House, just one mile away. So when we started the live music at the pub, this became his regular haunt. He started jamming with the guys and then formed his own group to play when he was off the road with Rory. The Gerry McAvoy Jams became notorious, Blues at its very best, attracting some 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 and approached Bridge House Records to make a album. Yes sir, said Mr Murphy. What Gerry did was record his 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.
