By Gerry & the Pacemakers. By Gerard Marsden. Arranged by Janet and Alan Bullard (The Janet and Alan Bullard Piano Series). 20th Century,Pop. Score. 5 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #997353. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1415637).

Ferry ‘cross the Mersey, the 22-year old Gerry Marsden’s touching and sincere tribute to his home city, Liverpool, and its ferry across the River Mersey to Birkenhead, was recorded by his band Gerry and the Pacemakers and released in 1964, and it soon reached the Top  Ten in both the UK and the USA. In this easy-to-play arrangement, the steady left hand beat suggests the pulsing rhythm from the engine-room above which the melody sings smoothly and expressively.
 
The Janet and Alan Bullard Piano Series is an ever-growing collection of arrangements at easy to intermediate level, designed to complement the authors’ Pianoworks series (Oxford University Press). With Christmas songs such as ‘Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire’ and ‘A Spaceman Came Travelling’, songs from the shows such as ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, jazz standards such as ‘The Wedding’ and ‘A Child is Born’ songs by bands like Abba and The Kinks, pieces from the classics, and even the theme tunes from James Bond, Desert Island Discs, and The Archers, there is something here for everyone who learns the piano!

From the 1945 musical ‘Carousel’ by Rodgers and Hammerstein, You’ll never walk alone was an instant hit at the end of World War 2 with its inspiring words and shapely melody. It is also well known today in its role as a football anthem, originally adopted by Liverpool FC following its recording by the Liverpool band Gerry and the Pacemakers, and, more recently, as an anthem of support for medical staff and carers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Shape the performance to make a gradual crescendo towards the uplifting final bars.
