Gerry Marsden RIP on 20:10 - Jan 3 with 305 views | onehunglow | Indeed. This i a personal tribute . When a young in service Plod I was called to a "very loud party getting out of hand" job at a big house in Birkenhead's prestige area. Those jobs were always the ones where you d get the "I pay your wages" ,"Do you know who I am," I 'll have a word with your Chief Supt at the golf club".Being a maverick,I loved those jobs whereas many colleagues dreaded them. I got there at 1am and its going big style in a marquee;a 21st birthday pressie for Pippa one. I get t the front door and basically ask to turn it down or shut it off. Im told it's Gerry Marsden. I say,"isnt he dead" . Anyway,no joy so I hang around and walk into the rear garden which is like a smaller Brynmill Park.It is indeed Gerry doing a solo acoustic spot of his standards . He finishes a song and seeing me ,nods and smiles.I nod back and beckon him to the side. I say I dont want to be here but the neighbours are whinging and Im about to go off duty. He tells me if he can do 3 more songs. I say ,youll have to turn it down though then I'll walk away but no doubt you'll turn it back up after I head off .He says yeah I will. The music is turned down and I knob off . Another complaint comes in 1 hour later. The absolute bugger. A great lad who gave 35m to various charities and never moved away from the land he loved. Thanks Gerry ,La |  |
