Gerry Conway was born in the U.K. in 1947. He began playing drums at an early age. By 1964 he was working with Alexis Korner. After a year with him, he became the drummer of Eclection. His next move was playing with the band Fotheringay; the rhythm section for that band, including Conway, was hired by Cat Stevens. This affiliation continued as Conway became Stevens' permanent drummer. He remained with him until Stevens' retirement in 1975. He hooked up with Jethro Tull in the early '80s and was a member of the group until 1982, but he continued to appear with them at various times. He was also the drummer for Fairport Convention. Gerry Conway died on March 29, 2024, at the age of 76. ~ Gary Hill
