Formed Tubilah Dog (with Alf Hardy) in 1985, a musical collective that played at most of the major UK free festivals during the late 1980's. Met Hawkwind's Dave Brock at the Rollright Stones free festival in 1987, which led to a collaboration between the two bands, putting on further shows around the UK as the infamous HawkDog and the nefarious Agents Of Chaos. Tubilah Dog undertook several national UK tours as support to Hawkwind, becoming firm friends with the band during that time.

He was invited by Dave Brock to join Hawkwind, as lead guitarist, in 1995. Jerry recorded and toured extensively with Hawkwind in the UK, EU, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Subsequently invited by Nik Turner to play bass with Space Ritual following the departure of fellow ex Hawk and uber bassist, Dave Anderson, from the band, back in 2006.

Jerry also has his own band, Earth Lab, with former Hawkwind members Steve Swindells, Simon House and Ron Tree, as well as John Moss of Culture Club, and Winston Blissett of Massive Attack.

Other recent projects include:
Creating sound effects for a Warner Bros. film, the supernatural sci-fi thriller, 'Chemical Wedding', written by Bruce Dickinson and Julian Doyle. The film also features Earth Lab's 'Separation By Skin', from the album, Element, as part of its soundtrack.
