About Me

Dreams of stardom. Rock n roll. 1960’s. The Adulation. Vintage Clothes. Hope. Gerard has been writing songs since he was 15. Since then he has been in many bands and performed many gigs including Belfast’s Feile Festival, Belfast’s Party in The Park. He has supported Henry McCullough (Wings) and Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy). Belfast band TheYeltsins used his song Wanna Be With You as their entry into Cool FM’s best unsigned bands in Ireland competition and were named in the Top 10. He continues to write songs about nights out, nights in, love, hope, and dreamsReviews/Quotes:"...Girl; which is so singable, so melodic, so infectious...it sounds like a pop hit to me and I hope it becomes one...after listening to your songs, I would say music is in good hands" "Tony Arata (Nashville Hit-Songwriter, has written many hits including Garth Brookes 'The Dance') Myspace Layouts
