Gerry Guthrie follows in The Beatles footsteps

Before The Beatles took the music world by storm they did so in Liverpool.

Now Gerry Guthrie and his band, who play in Tuam on Saturday September 5th, hope for Liverpool success soon by being the first Irish Country band to host a weekend in the Merseyside city.

“We still do our weekends with guests in Irish destinations and play at holidays in the sun, but it will be a first for any Irish band when we host a weekend in the prestigious Adelphi Hotel right in the centre of Liverpool. We are delighted to be the ones doing the weekend over there next April,” says Gerry.

He laughed out loud when it was said to him that he might be seen now as the international Gerry Guthrie following in the footsteps of The Beatles!

The other big news from the Gerry Guthrie stable is that all his recent singles have now been put together in a new album due for release on October 1st titled The Monday Club which is named after his hugely successful single this summer of the same name.

Gerry was one of the first Irish Country stars to have his previous albums available in both CDs and on USB and the new one will also be available in both formats as well as on digital platforms.

“It’s a collection of all the recent singles that we released over the last year and a half or so. It will include Another Saturday Night and obviously Mayo Will Always Be Home which has got a new lease of life after his home county winning the All-Ireland Football Final and his duet with TR Dallas Everyone Wants to be 21 a hit in the US for the writer Bill Anderson (88) and popular young long-bearded Country-Rocker Jamey Johnson.

“The Mayo song was written by another Mayo man Gerry Carney, and it has been reincarnated since Sam came to my home county.

Also, our support act in Tuam on Saturday night will be another Mayo singer David Connor from Claremorris.

“While my Mayo Will Always Be Home song is popular in every county we play in now and getting lots of radio airplays again I was disappointed that Everyone Wants to be 21 didn’t get great airplays as I felt it was a great song.

But it seems that it didn’t fit into that sort of format that they wanted for daytime radio. But it’s still a song that I always wanted to record, and I'm delighted it will also be on the new album,” concluded Gerry.
