Glad you’re playing Gerry again. You guys are ahead of the curve. He’ll be massive in the states in the coming 12 months. You’ll both love his live performances at TRSMT in front of his home Glasgow audience. Would love to see your reaction to this...or his new single, Ghost.

'what have you done?' is a brilliant one from him with deeper lyrics that hit home

Been many years since I've been drinking on a golf course (or a graveyard for that matter) but it has happened...on more than one occasion. I'm sure other Scots will relate ;)

[@hairycoo56]

Whilst currently drunk I feel I must point out to folk not from my part of the world that 'drinking on a golf course' isn't just having a drink whilst playing golf, it's about underage drinking..and the places you would do that, away from the public eye. I mean it was always dark when we were gubbing cheap cider or buckfast on the golf course. The cemetery was another good hiding place lol

Great shout fella.Sam fender is fantastic

Sam Fender has to quite close to the bottom of any "Need to Listen To" List to be honest.

[@nathanmcnulty6407]

Sam Fender Hypersonic Missiles is Bruce Springsteen like. But all of his stuff is good.

[@YoungTowser]

@@nathanmcnulty6407 Gerry's song Ghost is the most Springsteen esque song of recent times, Sam Fender is manufactured , theres no way he wrote that song, it's instantly forgettable record company drivel. Obviously not a UK band but War On Drugs' Lost In The Dream has a great Springsteen quality to it as well.

[@MegaDenni13]

It does what good musicians do. He takes u there with him, reminds u of yourself so u easily relate. Sings about dark things in an upbeat, nostalgic way. Just telling the truth. His lyrical talent is great. U can tell I'm a fan. 😁😁

Fickle McSelfish and Kampfire Vampire are also excellent

I’m from Italy, I don't remember exactly how I came across this guy, but I was sure from the first moment: he deserves to be famous all over the world! And when I found out that he had to open for the Dropkick Murphys... boy, my new favorite singer who opens my favorite band of all time (yes, maybe I'm an atypical Italian). It kind of reminds me of my favorite singer from my Spanish period, Fito y Fitipaldis (also very famous at home, but hardly at all abroad). Please make him worldwide famous!!

[@jamiemorrison6431]

Lullaby and Where we're going are 2 excellent Gerry Cinnamon belters!!!

[@lynette50]

So glad you all love Gerry Cinnamon. I've done security at gigs he has played at here in Scotland and everyone loves him. In some way, every Scot can relate to that man in one way or another. We are all Council kids at heart. Growing up on Council House estates the kids grew up in gangs and still do. Only when I was a kid, we didn't have mobile phones and our curfew time was when the street lights came on, which in the summer in Scotland could be 9.30 to 10pm at night. School nights we where all in, bathed and bed by 8pm lol. We made our own fun. Making gang huts in the vegetable factories wooden crates which where stacked 4 or 5 high and 10 to 20 wide. These crates where like 4 feet squared. We would 'borrow' the dads saws and saw tunnels through the crates. The factory bosses left those crates there for us for years so we had our gang fort. Another factory had a large satellite dish that was never used, kept laid down next to the factory. This was about 15 feet across and went about 4 foot deep to the centre. It filled with rain, Scotland is great for rain lol. That was our cool down pool in the summer, even though our little town is right on the river forth and we have great beaches there. The next village over has a golf course so we would go hunting for lost golf balls which the dads would wash and bag up in 5s to sell to their golfing buddies for us, that was our spending money. If we did chores around the house we got some pocket money too. The dads made us all wooden stilts or go karts that we called bogeys or they made us ramps in the middle of the street so we could try stunts on our bikes. We would walk up to Braefoot Bay where there was an old war munitions site and we would find old shells that the dads turned in to money boxes for us to give as gifts to friends etc. Using the mother's pantyhose legs to put a tennis ball in to play Stoatie off the side of the house, always got us in to trouble when mum realised all her pantyhose only had one leg lol. Yep, Scottish parents and kids had more of a who dares, wins attitude in the 70s and 80s. You don't see much of that these days. The teens hang about bus shelters with their carry outs (booze) shouting abuse at folk etc. Or they are sat at home on their consoles or pcs. Totally different era now and it shows drastically. When you do see kids actually being kids you know what age their parents are lol.. As we went in to teenhood, we experienced drinkng around that same golf course, or at the auld Kirk which was and still is a creepy looking place, but we where still home for curfew time lol. Growing up in Scotland like us GenX'ers did, should be a requirement for every child in the world.

As a Scot myself. Can't understand how happy it makes us feel hearing someone like us. He grew up on a council estate, round drugs and booze. Came from the shit man. Songs are awesome as well like.

[@susanjohnston8267]

What I think he is saying is no one can judge you apart from yourself and actions in life. Just do your own thing. He is a fantastic man, plays his heart out at every gig. He wants to create music himself, and he has knocked back producers. People in Scotland listen to his music and enjoy it and it has spread from there. This is yet another great review of Gerry 👏👏 There is a video of him on KZbin called Erratic Cinematic - A Gerry Cinnamon Documentary. Might make you chaps understand him better. Please review Primal Scream - Country Girl, Movin On Up, Rocks or Loaded.
