Gerry’s Blog
Hi Welcome to my website.
I hope you enjoy sharing my journey as I talk about all things musical
I’m writing about my journey as a musician and recording artist
My Blog will cover the following areas each week:
My Own Music
I’ve just released my second instrumental album – New Land
Go to media.hodgett.online and use guest as the password to log in to listen. You will find a lot of older music on there that Ive recorded both on my own and with my friend David Lemon.
You will also find some live music from my friend Bill who created my web sites
Music I listen to
I listen to a wide range of music from current chart music back to 60’s and 70’s. I like melody and will listen to most vocal styles – but above all I love guitar solos and they feature heavily in my musical tastes
Favourite Artists
My favourite artist is Rory Gallagher, and my favourite band of all time would have to be Horslips.
The list from there is a very long one mainly guitarists but lots of bands.
In my blog I hope to call out these artists as they come to mind and highlight some of their music for you to find and listen to.
What’s New This Week
In this section I will tell you about the music I am listening to, videos I’ve watched and also hopefully about what I’m recording at the moment
I’ve Been playing guitar for over 50 years now
What Ive learnt is that playing for yourself is the most important thing, and if people like your music that’s a bonus
My musical tastes are diverse and I listen to everything
Ideas for new material come from all musical styles – my favourites are blues orientated but there is a wealth of orchestral material out there that is helping me develop my keyboard ability each day!
Travel With Me
Even if you pick up something from my story then it will have been worthwhile!
Everything I create is for Charity – Marie Curie Hospice in Belfast Northern Ireland
