  A Guy Called Gerald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Guy Called Gerald is the stage name for musician, record producer and DJ Gerald Simpson.
Simpson was heavily influenced by his Jamaican roots; his father's blue-beat, ska and Trojan reggae record collection, his mother's pentecostal church sessions and the Jamaican Sound system (DJ) parties in Manchester's Moss Side area where he grew up.
Inspired, Gerald began experimenting with tape editing and drum machines and the regular jams in the attic of his house led to forming the Scratchbeat Masters.

 Commission Opinion: Sandra K. Simpson and Daphne Ann Pattee; Rel. No. 34-45923 / May 14, 2002
Simpson's contention that she was unaware of the "breadth" of Pattee's unlawful activity is further undermined by Hester's testimony that Simpson paid close attention to the trade tickets, confirmations, and commission reports provided to her by Prudential with respect to her customers.
Simpson argues that a bar from association with a broker or dealer, a member of a national securities exchange, or a national securities association and $100,000 civil money penalty are excessive given her assertedly relatively minor role in the wrongdoing.
Simpson's unlawful activity in the accounts she serviced herself, her disregard of serious and repeated customer complaints, failure timely to raise issues regarding Pattee's conduct despite Simpson's exacting review of account activityreports, and attempts to cover up her activities fatally undermine Simpson's claim that she was a "whistle-blower" with respect to Pattee's activities.

 Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage | Unsung | Reviews | A Guy Called Gerald - Black Secret Technology
Gerald’s music has always been about the energy of living in an industrial landscape.
Currently living in the artistic tacheles community in Berlin, Gerald has also favoured the creative urban energy of Detroit, New York and London since his days in his native Manchester….them days when his creative process would involve club, studio, test pressing and finally video, often within the space of a month.
Judging by his musical language and use of chord structures, methinks that he was the originator of the tune anyway…..but somehow he didn’t fit the scallydelic wave of Manchester’s vibes in the area mentality.
