Gerry Colvin – Duo

Folk-pop-rock legend Gerry Colvin must be one of the most endearing and energetic musicians on the planet, just as much at home playing small clubs as he is supporting Status Quo on Tour.  This multi-talented singer-songwriter performs all his own material, combining catchy melodies with thoughtful lyrics on love, society, angst and Johnny Cash!  His be-suited on stage performance combines Frank Sinatra, Lee Evans, and the afore-mentioned Man in Black.  Genius?  Madcap?  Maverick? Yes, all of these things…and a lot, lot more.

A stellar musical CV includes co-writing with Alison Moyet, being a Television and John Peel favourite with his 80’s band Terry and Gerry, winning best band (with ColvinQuarmby) at Fairport’s Cropredy Festival as well as the Hancock Award for best live folk act.  A Glastonbury stalwart, he has played several times and also acted as compere on more than one occasion.  

In the 2020 lock-down Gerry released an album under the title ‘Fully Functioning Wind-up Mechanism.  Every song is brilliant, and only Gerry could come up with a song titled ‘The Laird of Loch Doone’ actually a true story set in an island castle in Scotland at the time of the Great Plague, with a theme echoing one that we’d all been experiencing.  More recently he has released Past Present &amp; Crescent featuring new songs and old favourites produced with a new sound from both his band and his amazing folk orchestra! 

"Gerry Colvin is a writer of great substance who is able to give us something that has been largely missing in English Music for a long time. His subjects and characters are clearly defined and his songs create strong images and stories which can make us both laugh and cry in the same breath. This man is unique and unforgettable. The songs are brilliant. He should be a household name. Go see him.” Phil Beer, Show of Hands

Gerry will be joined by musician Jerome Davies, double bass and violin.

For over 22 years I’ve promoted Gerry in his many different guises, and for five incomparable years I was his agent.  If it's possible to tire of his very own brand of loony genius, then it hasn't happened yet. In this ever increasingly troubled world, Gerry is a full force blast of joy and positivity, I know we’ll give him the packed venue he and we all deserve. Debs, Folk in the Barn

The Tea Cosy Sessions, now in their fifth year, were started after the Pandemic as a way to bring cheer to those dull post New Year weekend afternoons.  What could be better we thought, than brilliant entertainment accompanied by tea and home-made cake!  They have proved very popular so get your tickets early if you can.  Doors are at 2.30pm and the show finishes around 5pm so plenty of time to get home in time for Antiques Road Show!
