* Подпись к снимку - "The Beatles and Gerry Marsden in Cardiff, 27 May 1963", я почерпнул отсюда - http://thegilly.tumblr.com/tagged/gerry-marsden
Ту же дату определили и здесь - http://www.multiplusbooks.com/630527.html и даже поместили более обзорный вариант этой фотографии, но менее качественный.
Второй снимок явно того же дня, но может vox_xov что-нибудь прояснит ?

Джерри здорово спел Джамбалайю в Compleat Beatles

* Beatle People: Gerry Marsden
Gerry Marsden (born Gerard Marsden on 24 September 1942 in Dingle, Liverpool, England) is an English musician and television personality, best known for being leader of the British band Gerry & The Pacemakers.

Marsden's interest in music began at an early age. He remembers standing on top of an air raid shelter singing "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" and getting a great reception from onlookers. He said to himself then, "This is what I want to do."

Gerry & The Pacemakers were the second group signed by Brian Epstein and remained among his favorite artists. Their first single was "How Do You Do It," recommended by George Martin after it was initially given to The Beatles. This was the first number one hit for the Pacemakers. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and was released on EMI's Columbia label. Marsden said the recording took four or five takes. The band's second number one was "I Like It," followed by "You'll Never Walk Alone." Other singles included "It's Gonna Be Alright" (their "heaviest" song), "I'm the One," "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying," and "Ferry Cross the Mersey."

After leaving the Pacemakers — his brother Fred Marsden, Les Maguire and Les Chadwick—Gerry Marsden maintained a low-key career on television, and starred in the West End musical Charlie Girl alongside Derek Nimmo and Anna Neagle.

He is most remembered for the song "I Like It" and his rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone," which has been adopted as an anthem of several football clubs, the most notable being Liverpool, the club that Marsden supports. He sang the song at Wembley Stadium when Everton faced Liverpool at the 1989 F.A. Cup final shortly after the Hillsborough disaster.

The Pacemakers, albeit with different musicians, still tour today and are a popular oldies draw on the circuit.

Marsden returned to No. 1 in the charts twice during the 1980s with re-recordings of two of his old hits, with all profits going to charity. In 1985 after the Bradford Football Club stadium tragedy in which 56 were killed, he formed a group called "The Crowd," which included other musicians, singers, and radio disc jockeys, to produce a new version of "You'll Never Walk Alone." After the Hillsborough football ground tragedy of 1989 which left 96 dead, he joined forces with Paul McCartney, The Christians, Holly Johnson, and his production trio Stock, Aitken & Waterman on a new version of "Ferry Cross the Mersey."

Marsden's favorite recordings are "Ferry Cross the Mersey," "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" and "You'll Never Walk Alone."

In 1993, Gerry Marsden published his autobiography, I'll Never Walk Alone, co-written with former Melody Maker editor Ray Coleman.

Некоторые факты из книги Марка Льюисона:

Джон аккомпанировал Джерри на ударных, надев на себя туалетное сиденье:

Less doubt or misinformation surrounds the other wild tale. For Bernie Boyle it was just part of the entertainment: “In the Star-Club one night John came on stage with a toilet seat around his neck, and a cape on, and a hat. He was out of his fuckin’ brain.” John himself said it happened “when Gerry and the Pacemakers and the whole of Liverpool was over there. We’d really get going then. I’d go on with underpants and a toilet seat round me neck, and all sorts of gear on, and out of me fuckin’ mind. And I’d do a drum solo, which I couldn’t play, while Gerry Marsden was playing.

* The Crowd - временный музыкальный проект, специально собранный для благотворительной акции жертвам пожара на стадионе английского города Брэдфорд 11 мая 1985 года, объединивший целый ряд известных певцов, музыкантов, актёров, спортсменов, который под руководством Джерри Марсдена записал новую версию популярного хита 60-х годов группы "Gerry & The Pacemakers" - "You'll Never Walk Alone".

* The Crowd was a charity group formed specifically to produce a charity record for the Bradford City stadium fire, in which 56 people died on 11 May 1985. The group consisted of singers, actors, television personalities and others.

Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers had decided to make a charity record to aid the families of the victims of the disaster (the Bradford City Disaster Fund). The re-recording of the 1963 number 1 hit song "You'll Never Walk Alone", also a 'football anthem' for Liverpool supporters, entered the UK charts at No. 4, and reached Number 1 on 1 June 1985. The record also topped the Irish Singles Chart. The single gave Gerry Marsden a 'first' in British recording history, by becoming the first person ever to top the charts with two versions of the same song.

The band members included: Bruce Forsyth, Denny Laine, Jim Diamond, Tony Christie, Rick Wakeman, John Conteh, The Barron Knights, Jess Conrad, Kiki Dee, the Foxes, Rolf Harris, Graham Gouldman, Kenny Lynch, Rick Wild of The Overlanders, Keith Chegwin, Tony Hicks, Colin Blunstone, Tim Hinkley, Johnny Logan, Zak Starkey, Girlschool, Black Lace, John Otway, Gary Holton, Nigel Holton, Hank Hancocks, Peter Cook, the Nolans, John Entwistle of The Who, Motörhead, Karen Clark, Dave Lee Travis, Graham Dene, Ed Stewart, Phil Lynott, Smokie, Joe Fagin, Eddie Harding, Gerard Kenny, Chris Robinson, Tim Healy, Kin Kelly, John Verity, Rose Marie, David Shilling, Chris Norman, Pete Spencer, Bernie Winters, Robert Heaton, and Frank Allen of The Searchers.

Paul McCartney contributed some words on the B-side of the record.

Having decided to collect the money and donate it as a lump sum to the fire disaster fund, Marsden was shocked to discover that the appeal had been closed, and the organisers had told him that they didn't want the money. In the end, the money was donated instead to the burns research unit in Bradford.

The music publishers of the record refused to waive their royalties, resulting in a much-reduced donation of £132,000.

Спасибо за интересные темы.

Уточню перевод слов Леннона - "Если бы я мог, я сыграл бы соло на ударных, аккомпанируя игре Джерри".

Еще вариант:

On Oct. 19, 1961. there was a teen dance in Liverpool, England at the Litherland Town Hall that featured a band called "The Beatmakers".

But it wasn't what the people attending had planned on seeing. The band performed Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," Ray Charles' "What'd I Say?," the pop standard "Red Sails in the Sunset," Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack" and other songs.
