In 1973 I joined G.T. Moore and the Reggae Guitars

Gerald ‘G.T. Moore - Vocals
Malcolm Mortimore - Drums
When I joined G.T. Moore And The Reggae Guitars it was quite a contrast from Gentle Giant but I love Reggae music so I joined the band.
Peter Eden was the part-time manager of Gerald ‘G.T.’ Moore and he got the band signed to Tony Stratton-Smith’s Charisma Label.
When we recorded the album ‘G.T. Moore And The Reggae Guitars’ we had a recording engineer called Tony Platt who had just finished recording Bob Marley and the Wailers ‘Burnin’ album, and he showed me how to tune the kit to get the right sound. We were the first band to cover ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ in this style. And when the great man heard it (Bob Marley) he said… “Mmmm yeah OK!”
“Mmmm yeah OK!”
