Gerry Marsden: Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying / Ferry cross The Mersey

Recorded at Camberley Theatre, Surrey

[@cosmodog4845]

Gerry didn’t have to fake singing and screaming all hidden by loud drums and guitars, he was a natural.

[@maxcinemitchell7719]

This song and the way he sings it brings tears to my eyes. Appreciate him so much

[@Walleye5469]

Song is just as good with his older voice too.

[@cmasse6236]

I’m a 73 yr old, and I often shed tears for the late 60’s and 70’s. Nothing makes sense in this life anymore. I so miss my life and times. Everything going on now is horrible, and out of control in so many aspects. People have gone crazy. Just wish I could go back to my time zone. 😔

[@ianrive6129]

I saw Gerry about 10 years ago, and he introduced this song by saying he wrote the song when he broke up with his girlfriend. She heard it, they got back together and married about 40 years ago. The audience applauded, he then said "Wish I'd never written the ## song." Brilliant, a great character as well as singer. Will never forget.

[@Resgerr]

More than 40 years ago!

R.I.P. Gerry...I grew up on your tunes...Never forgot them mate!

[@tommcconville4270]

I certainly did as well Eddy, Gerry and the Pacemakers were a fine band and all of their songs are priceless. And they have stood the test of times as great anthems in a time when people made fine music. This is my testimonial to Gerry; good day to you.

My husband and I were recently at a RV resort with our new travel trailer on the Colorado River in Arizona (to get away from the virus sadness) and a sweet older lady (I'm 64) requested this song to sing along...it made me cry for those wonderful years of the 60's/70's/80's...I don't recognize this life any longer...

From Glasgow. I visited Liverpool 21 yrs ago. Took the ferry across the mersey. Loved the song. They played both these songs over the loud speaker. I was in Liverpool heaven as I sailed towards Birkenhead, looking back at the Liver buildings. Grew up listening to Gerry and his band in the 60s and 70s. Fav song is Don't let the sun catch you crying. RIP Gerry PS Also attended Celtic v Liverpool UEFA Cup match at Celtic Park. The whole stadium sang YNWA along with him. Wonderful.

[@lastrada52]

That "Ferry Cross the Mersey" melody is like "Danny Boy," -- it gets into your head stays forever. Both are beautiful melodies. Gerry still comes off well polished for a ballad singer and he has a nice style in his presentation. And on "Ferry Cross the Mersey," -- the youngsters on the brass are excellent. Good performance Gerry.

[@janetmaxwell8901]

Two of my favourite songs from Merseyside in the sixties. Ferry cross the Mersey still played on the ferry and Dont let the sun catch you crying had no doubt comforted many going through a breakup. Liked the band here as well. Gerry has included some youthful musicians...am liking it. Shine on Gerry!

Aye to that Peter, Gerry Marsden and his Pacemakers band were a huge favorite of mine in the sixties. We Americans greatly admired all your British bands, the Beatles in particular, and, of course, Gerry and his wonderful band. Liverpool indeed made a great contribution to popular music. My roots are in England and Northern Ireland; my grandfather Allen was born I Newcastle upon Tyne, and my great grandfather Joseph Johnson's father came from London to the States. A large part of why I like and admire the British bands, but mostly for the fine music they produce. And always been a great fan of the Animals, and Eric Burdon, who hailed from Newcastle as did my grandfather. Best regards.
