Street Talking Man, was the single we chose from Gerry McAvoy's album. A really strong single about Gerry's life in Belfast in the sixties before he met up with Rory Gallagher and joined his band.
Gerry's album also on Bridge House Records was called 'Back to Bassics'.
Gerry played the bass and sang vocals on Streetalk. On the other side of the single we wanted to show off the musical talent of Dave Edwards, who had helped Gerry by playing guitar and backing vocals on the album. Dave has such a tremendous voice,we thought he would also get some radio play, so the single was like a double A side. We chose Many Rivers to Cross and Dave sang it beautifully. Dave was also lead guitar and vocalist with Remus Down Boulevard, a bridge house favorite...
