Ferry Cross The Mersey (The Best Of Gerry & The Pacemakers) - Gerry & The Pacemakers

Advantages: a quality entertainer
Disadvantages: nothing

...soon to perform. They have also according to Gerry toured America recently and he still clearly enjoys performing. Judging by last night people stil love him too. This was one of the best shows I have seen for a long while Gerry Marsden is besides a top singer a very funny guy. He often had us all in stitches with the jokes he came out with and he also did a question and answer session in between singing such classics as Ferry cross the Mersey , You'll never walk alone , I like it and lot's more. These are Gerry's songs and no one can sing them quite like him. Although he is nearly sixty himself now ,you would not believe it from his tireless performance which saw him on stage for nearly two hours. He also sings a mean rendition of Robbie Williams "Angel" and does a very good Jerry Lee Lewis impersonation too.There is clearly no... Read review

Advantages: Pure listening pleasure for Gerry Marsden fans.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage is the Cilla Black track

Disadvantages: Not many but cold in winter

...Long before I first visited Liverpool which was back in 1959 when I docked at the port on returning to UK from Sierra Leone, I had heard of the famous Mersey Ferry. Then in the 1960's when the Mersey Sound dominated popular music, Gerry and the Pacemaker's had a gigantic hit with "Ferry Cross the Mersey". Later it was to become the anthem for the supporters of that great club Liverpool FC. When I visited Liverpool again in the 1970s I did not have enough time to take a trip on the Ferry and it was only in 1992,when visiting my daughter,who was studying at Liverpool University,that I actually "Crossed the Mersey"for the first time. I had further trips in 1993 and 1998 and found it was an interesting way of travelling in Merseyside. Visually much more interesting than going through the tunnels or by tube train. I boarded the ferry... Read review
