BIOGRAPHY:
Great singer, he was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire in Scotland on April 16th, 1947. Some of his songs are among the most known tunes, such as ´Stuck in the middle with you´ (with Stealers Wheel), or ´Baker Street´.
THE MAVERICKS
His first known band was The Mavericks, with his mate Joe Egan, but don´t know if there were more band members involved.
THE FIFTH COLUMN
Next band was The Fifth Column, again with Joe Egan. They released a single, ´Benjamin Day / There´s nobody here´.
THE HUMBLEBUMS
Gerry Rafferty joined The Humblebums in 1969, thus becoming a trio:
But Tam Harvey left after a few months.
Now The Humblebums is a duo again:
After a couple of albums, they parted ways in 1971.
In February 1970, The Humblebums played some sessions with backing musicians (don´t know if they were part of the usual live band, or just played a one-off appearance):

GERRY RAFFERTY BAND
After the split of The Humblebums, Gerry Rafferty started his solo career, releasing his first album, Can I have my money back?.
But he soon formed a new band with old mate Joe Egan. The band was called Stealers Wheel.

GERRY RAFFERTY BAND
Now again resuming his solo career, he released few (but great) albums in the period between 1978 and 2010, also touring with great musicians.
To me, it has been very difficult finding info about the Gerry Rafferty tours and backing musicians, so I just write what I know for sure. But there are many other players that toured with him: Lindsay Scott (in a tour in the Benelux), Arran Ahmun, Jeff Bannister, Liane Carroll, Julian Littman, and many others. I hope I´ll be able to expand this info in the future...
This was the great live band that backed Gerry Rafferty on his 1978 tour:
And this was the live band that backed Gerry Rafferty around 1980:
He sadly died in Bournemouth, England, on January 4th, 2011, due to a liver disease. He was 63. He will be missed.
