Saw him at Margate's Theatre Royal and Winter Gardens as recently as 2017 (he was better at the Theatre Royal), as well as back in 1988. Love nearly everything he did during 1963-1965, and consider the 'How Do You Like It?' album to be up there with the best of 'em.
Here's a full uncut concert from 2013:

Clearly one of the loveliest chaps in the business. Very sad to hear this yesterday morning. Bless you, Gerry.
I know his brother Freddie died years ago, but are the two Les's still with us?

Gerry Marsden's first solo TV appearance? It certainly pre-dates the split of the (original) Pacemakers by at least 6 months!

I think it's 'Big Night Out' (not certain without digging out my DVDs).

Thanks for the info Peter. Presumably, that leaves just Les McGuire. The Sixties are retreating ever further into the mists of time.... |

Sad indeed, they join the likes of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, another 60's band with the original members dead.
I was only reading about him last week regarding selling a Beatles acetate |
