Gerry Milne

Gerry Francis Milne, born 29 October 1951; died 29 May 2021.

Former Shanty Crew member Tony Goodenough reports, “Gerry Milne (RIP) was a regular in the group. He made a living from busking with his concertina and was often to be found at Covent Garden in London.”

Here is a Folk London article about Gerry Milne’s musical career.

“Dave Bryant was a singer in the shanty crew and Gerry and Dave formed a group, Foxtail, with concertina and guitar. They played in a multitude of pubs and clubs and at Inland Waterways gatherings. At one of these they were given a narrowboat called Foxtail to run round the canal for a week free, taking three others with them.”
