Demos and Rarities Vol. 2 - Adventures with Gerry Rafferty

A really lovely album through and through. A cool fun fact about Rab Noakes: he fought tonsillar cancer and kept singing after beating it!

Waiting Here for You

Discovered this gem almost a year ago now, and it’s an absolute delight to listen to every single time. It’s the perfect autumn/winter tune filled with sorrow and melancholy. Sorry to the next listener.

Mary Skeffington - 1971 Version

The most beautiful tribute to Gerry’s mum with a heartbreaking backstory. I urge you to have tissues on hand if you decide to read about it.

This is for when you’re feeling a little low

Long Dark Night

I have a clear view of the foggy city and a cuppa in my hand with this in the background.

Fallen Ones

“Look at the fallen ones now”

Same Old Place - 1976 Version

The whole album revolves around themes of hope, resilience and sitting with an abundance of emotion. This track is just another one of those gems.
