Terry and Gerry
The debate over who should replace David Beckham as captain of the England football team - 'John Terry or Steven Gerrard?' Answer: Gary Neville - was resolved today in favour of the Chelsea FC skipper.
All that talk of Terry and Gerrard brought to mind the long forgotten 80s indie band, Terry and Gerry, Peel session stalwarts when I first started listening to the man. Trying to find some of their music online to refresh a very vague memory of what they sounded like has proved rather harder than expected: A broken link to their own site, nothing on iTunes, nothing on the file sharing networks, nothing on Last.fm (where even a group as obscure as Pink Industry is represented). This description makes it sound like they were crap anyway. Any evidence to the contrary is admissible.

Terry & Gerry were the first band I ever went to see perform live.
Gerry Colvin went on to write songs for other folk (including Alison Moyet) and now performs with Nick Quarmby and a couple of others as "Colvin Quarmby". Natty name huh? www.colinquarmby.com
Terry has recently produced a DVD of some of their appearances on TV.
This is his email address: terry.lilley@gmail.com
