Over the last nine years of Gerard’s life he produced most of the creative work for which he is remembered – hundreds and hundreds of drawings, mostly musical cartoons, illustrating his wonderfully absurd ideas. He devised and presented his own particular brand of symphonic caricature which burst onto London’s musical scene with his concerts at the Royal Festival Hall in the mid-1950s, and continued to resound around the world many years after his death. He also established himself as a broadcaster and raconteur, endearing himself to millions through radio and television and proving himself to be a much sought after speaker at the Oxford and Cambridge Unions. He fulfilled a lifetime’s ambition by acquiring a tuba and learning to play it, and his love of this instrument would become central to his life, a recurring theme in his performances and cartoons.
