Gerry Tapscott At the club since September 1997

Gerry plays acoustic guitar and sings mainly contemporary material - she also writes her own songs ('Cold Cappuccino' is definitely a firm club favourite!). She contributed material to the locally written and produced play 'The People Must Pay' which was performed at the Phoenix Theatre in Blyth in the summer of 2004.

Her main musical influences include Beth Nielson-Chapman and Nanci Griffiths.

Gerry and John Redpath used to perform regularly as a duo, and they still occasionally play together.
