I was lucky enough to share a pint with Gerry very early in his career when he was playing in a folk duo called The Humblebums, amazingly with the comedian Billy Connelly. Genuinely nice guy and I don’t think either of us could foresee the amazing career he would go on to have that cold winters night a long time ago ✌️

OMG, that’s awesome! Been a fan of Billy Connelly since the 80s when he was doing stand up comedy and before I realized he’d been a musician for decades prior. Of course, I grew up listening to Gerry Rafferty’s music but knowing how close he and Billy remained until Gerry’s untimely passing always warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure you cherish that memory. ❤🙏🏼

Gerry lived his entire life with crippling bipolar disorder, and self-(over)-medicated with alcohol. As someone who craved peace and quiet, he regularly got panic attacks when away from home - touring was simply not for him. He may have justified it to the _outside world_ as perfectionism, in the same way people would still rather phone in sick with a stomach upset than say 'I'm too depressed to get out of bed'. Men of Rafferty’s generation simply didn’t (still don't) discuss mental health. What a monumentally splendid talent he was. 🤍

Please, please, please, dig deeper into Gerry Rafferty. He is one of the most talented composers and musicians, while also being one of the most underrated and unknown artists of his time. Why? Rafferty did not tour. He had a huge distrust for the corporate end of the music industry. Rafferty was also shy, preferring not to perform publicly, but to create in the studio. Combined, this led to a lack of marketing support from his label and a lack of visibility to the public. The general person on the street ONLY KNOWS five(5) singles from his first two albums! Rafferty has AMAZING music with one of the most unique mixes of instrumentation you will ever hear, influenced by his Scottish heritage, distinctly Rafferty. For more saxophone, try his "Standing at the Gates."
