When we told David we had missed his act he performed a short mime just for us. Great memories of that nightAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613067720923141506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6161665239325857240.post-9593650109365536962010-11-24T18:18:24.971+00:002010-11-24T18:18:24.971+00:00Whilst an art student at Redruth School of Art, Cl...Whilst an art student at Redruth School of Art, Clinton Road, Redruth Gerry Gill was a truly exemplary participant in the music scene as a very talented DJ using lightshows and as pretty much the only person I'd ever come across with so many unheard, rare and extraordinary records. Gerry was also a very approachable and kind person, how he remained so affable in the face of our niƩve meanderings I can only guess. Redruth became a ghost town at weekends for me as I was one of the few students who boarded all week because my home was in the Isles of Scilly and even with grant aided funding I couldn't afford to fly home every weekend, Gerry's flat in Illogan became an infrequent haunt, a place that was reassuring to know existed and he often hung out at the Quasar Cafe in Redruth where a strangely shaped cylindrical mug of coffee would last for an eternity, just another haunt in those cash strapped formative times, offering a safe harbour from an otherwise harsh and critical world. Bowies performance at Falmouth is now legendary and every so often I hear another perspective. I'm interested in this blog as the participants in that moment have either dwindled or are just staying incognito. I'm really happy to see Gerry Gills name here and I wish him the very bestPaggettypowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070639061211126125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6161665239325857240.post-42167321942365982122010-10-29T21:04:04.485+01:002010-10-29T21:04:04.485+01:00Great blog, thanksGreat blog, thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
