Transcript from an Interview with Gerry Manning.
Gerry Manning, 57 years old, you're a real old Irishman.. Your band ?
No band... just me, an elderly Roland and a couple of guitars. ..Okay, main achievements are.....let me get back to you on that!
Why this name?
Found it on my birth certificate.
Do you play live?
No, but when anyone walks in on me when I'm performing, I play dead!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
That question has been answered in pretty much the same way by everyone else... so just pick one at random.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, but it's not likely they'd sign one with me!:
Your influences?
The great singer songwriters such as James Taylor, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and others. But I love and am influenced by a very wide variety of music new and old.
Favorite spot?
Paris and France generally. Northern California - Frisco and surrounds. Spain (Puerto Banus, Marbella) for vacation, and of course Ireland, where I live.
