And digging deeper it is as a tribute to Mr Peel.
 After 27 years the Birmingham based cult skiffle cow-punk band Terry and Gerry are reforming for a tour in honour of their biggest fan, the late John Peel. They will be playing The Hare and Hounds on November 2nd 2014.
BBC disc jockey and avid fan John Peel promoted the band when by chance he picked out their demo tape because his wife's best friends were also known as Terry and Gerry. He thought the coincidence was too great to ignore! The band recorded four critically acclaimed sessions for the John Peel show and got a very fond mention in his autobiography.
 In the mid-eighties the four piece band released six singles and one album. 'From Lubbock to Clintwood East':  Each went to Number One in the indie charts. Reviewing their single on Radio One Morrissey declared 'I love it!! Don't know why!!' The band toured extensively in the UK, Europe and America gathering fans from Joe Strummer of 'The Clash' to Shane MacGowan from 'The Pogues'. 
Terry and Gerry regularly appeared on radio and TV, including sessions for 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' and 'The Tube', they wrote numerous theme tunes for Central TV and were the subject of a 30 minute documentary by the legendary film maker Norman Hull, which aired on British Television in July 1986.
Still as energetic and vibrant as ever they continue to chronicle the lives of the people from the city they love, Birmingham. Having promoted Terry and Gerry at the opening night of their legendary club at Burberries on Broad Street in 1986, The Click Club is proud to present their first home town gig in over 25 years.
