Gerry is no second hand singer

THE title of Gerry Guthrie’s current album is Second Hand Heart but this young Mayo man is certainly no second hand singer as he gives first class performances on songs ranging wide from Paul Simon’s The Boxer to Dixie Road which was popularised by US Country star Lee Greenwood to the Michael Commins composition Old Home in Mayo.
The later is one of two Mayo songs on this album by the young man from Ballina. The other is one of the first successful songs ever written by the late Johnny McCauley, Cottage on the Borderline of Galway and Mayo, which was a hit for the late Larry Cunningham many years ago.
