"Ronnie has been trying to do this for years, I finally decided the time was right for a reunion and I think the music is as relevant now as it was back then"

Stevie Walker...

"Henry was fabulous as usual, Ronnie Garrity is the best bass player I've heard and Brian Gatens is also one of the best drummers I've heard, I love live musc, I was there all three nights. I'm a friend of all the guys who played and I'm proud to come from a town which churns out true magical musicians"

Henry Gorman, Ronnie Garrity and Brian Gatens performed three gigs on September 17th,18th & 19th at "The Darroch" in Gourock, They played a selection of HGB songs and covers..... All  three gig were packed out.
Henry ... "The gig is more of a retrospective with songs that inspired us growing up and shaping our musical lives, Robin Trower, Hendrix, Gallagher, Steely dan to name a few. We will be performing around 30 songs on the night. Allistair McGregor will be appearing on keyboards for a few songs but it's basically a power trio thing"

The gigs also featured guest musicians Kendal Paterson, Stephen Powers, Fergie Fulton, Kevin Gurney and Alec Galloway.

Here is s selection of photos laced with comments from Henry Gorman and  from some of the people who where at the gigs.

"We played around thirty tracks, I was determined to memorise the lyrics for all the songs, I had the tracks on my IPhone and would go running every day a couple of weeks before I left London and listened constantly"

"I went to the Friday night gig, The guys were brilliant, the musicianship was second to none and everyone from the crowd, the band and the musicians who joined in all had a great time. It was the best local gig I have seen for years. I drove back home with a big smile on my face....Great gig!

Stevie Walker...

"I took my grandson Liam (an aspiring guitarist) the band blew him away"

Alison Sykora ....

"You guys must be in the mid station between absolutely shattered and unbelievably elated.
Thanks for a great gig and have a good rest so that you can do it all again sometime soon... Wish I could stop singing "Keep off the grass".

Alongside Henry is guest guitarist Alec Galloway
Fergie Fulton and Kevin Gurney
"I never realised we had that huge amount of interest. We deliberately set out to find an intimate venue like the "Dial Inn" or "Davey Jones Locker" These tickets were sold by word of mouth, there was no real advertising per say, So you can imagine we would probably have to put on another weekend".
Henry...
"We've been asked to do two more nights between Christmas and New Year as the demand is quite high for more shows. So we're looking at it. Watch this space".
