"You know, I feel that Gerry Levene & The Avengers have never been given enough credit for the part they played in the start of Brum's 60's music scene. They were one of the first bands to be gigging in and around the Manchester & Liverpool areas during the start of the Liverpool boom, working with such greats as The Beatles, The Searchers etc., long before many of us other Brummie bands. He was also one of the first performers to have the guts to wear a silly lame suit!! Sorry Gerry, but the girls loved it! We had many good times working together over the years and Gerry will be missed both from the music scene, but also for being a great friend to many. One of the best. You will always be fondly remembered.

Mike Sheridan

Over the years Gerry & wife Maz have had several business ventures in the field of music. One being a Management Agency for bands during which time they managed Body & Soul featuring Cissy Stone and people like Danny King & Cozy Powell. Sending many of them to Fulder in Germany.
