Influences – A Guy Called Gerald

Over the last 25 years in music, Manchester legend and acid house pioneer Gerald Simpson aka A Guy Called Gerald has time and again shown his versatility and range (be it acid house, techno, funk, drum and bass, jungle…) – so it should come as no surprise that his influences are a varied bunch.
There's something in here for everyone, from hometown heroes of jazz-funk 52nd Street to the poetry of Lemn Sissay via dancehall clashes at Sting and a Mike Judge comedy film…
A Guy Called Gerald will play Live at The Bussey Building on Friday 11th December. More Details Here.
Reminds me of St.Alfonso’s in Manchester, early 80’s and British Legion club. This tune inspired me to want to play the bass guitar. I love the futuristic space thing. These were the days, leg warmers, bleached jeans; UK jazz funk
