A Guy Called Gerald + Great Leap Forward.

From NME, 10th June 1989 (SPACE CADET - Richard Norris):

"Up in Manchester, A Guy Called Gerald is pondering his next move - with 'Voodoo Ray' still the top tune after all these months. It's shifted over 20,000 copies in the States. The choice of a new 12" is subject to much brow furrowing. 'Hot Lemonade', the title track from Gerald's debut LP, seems the obvious summer release, but our man in Manchester thinks the cut is too old. Catch Gerald on home turf at Manchester University on June 10, and at selected venues all over the shop in the next few weeks."

'The House On Mars'
Hacienda Cultural Exchange Tour
Mars Club, New York, USA

"A Team from Manchester's Hacienda Club are off to teach the Yanks about the British Acid House dance culture. A four man expedition of DJs Mike Pickering and Graeme Park, Mark Kamins, and on PA, A Guy Called Gerald, will be taking over the Mars Club in New York on March 16-18. The event follows a similar one-off at the Locomotive Club in Paris last month."

(NME, 11th March 1989)

"The Hacienda recently took a team of DJs and producers over to Mars in New York on a sort of "cultural exchange". The team in question included Mike Pickering, A Guy Called Gerald, and Graeme Park, and by all accounts it was a success...talking of Gerald, his Voodoo Ray single has received the Frankie Knuckles treatment on one of the remixes, getting very mixed reactions all round. The single itself is gradually edging up the national charts, but will we see him on Top Of The Pops?"

(Claire Robinson, Soul Underground Issue 19, April 1989)

"I spent seven nights there. I did PAs with a girl called Madison, who has worked with Big Daddy Kane, in clubs like World, Tunnel, Red Zone and Mars. Warlock (the US record company) took us round the clubs in limousines. We had a different limo every night, with a TV in the back and everything)" 

(Offbeat, May 1989)

The Shamen / A Guy Called Gerald (featuring Mark Moore and Baby Ford)
Dingwalls, Middle Yard, Camden Lock, Camden, London, England

From NME, 14th January 1989:

"If all this Euro-nonsense gets too much head for Dingwalls on January 11 for a night with A Guy Called Gerald, The Shamen, Jolly Roger, Mr C and more. The Shamen and Gerald may seem a strange combination, but not so; the Scots have already run into Bam Bam on their 'Transcendental' (Desire) single and have a new acid-flavoured album entitled 'In Gorbachev We Trust' released at the end of the month on Demon. Meanwhile Gerald's brilliant debut LP 'Hot Lemonade' comes out on Rham on January 20, despite serious sniffing around by a multinational record company - if they pass on this one, they are VERY STUPID indeed - along with Peter Ford, Gerald will make it huge in the long term, mark my words."
