2020
Of course, 2020 was ‘hampered’ by the dreadful Covid virus with almost all of Mungo Jerry’s (and everyone else’s) gigs wiped out.
2020 should have been a year celebrating 50 Years Of Mungo Jerry and of course In The Summertime. Ray was interviewed many times for radio stations and television, including an appearance on ITV’s daytime show, This Morning.
Mungo Jerry’s appearance on TV show, This Morning took place on the Thursday the 16th of July, incidentally the day I left school and the day I saw Mungo Jerry for the first time way back in 1971.
We also have a VIDEO link to the rehearsal, although you may get a stiff neck watching it?
Ray was also featured on ITV’s News at Ten show, on Friday – 17/7/20. Here is the clip courtesy of our own Mick Frampton.

Working from home, Ray did manage to come up with a Thank You Lockdown song, writing and playing all of the instruments on the track himself with all of the band in lockdown.
Sadly, our old friend, Joe Rush passed away in France this year after a long illness. It was a huge shock to us all and he is greatly missed. In Joe’s memory, we have a couple pages set up dedicated to the great man.

In a year of bad news, we also lost former drummer, Glen Lee, who was part of the band in the 80’s along with Dave Mitchell and Ray Davies and also learned of the passing of Pauline Berry, wife of lifelong fan and friend of Mungo Jerry, Mike Berry.
