Gerry Paul is a musician, producer, fisherman and General Manager of KeriKeri’s performing arts, events and conference venue the Turner Centre in KeriKeri.

He is also a member of the traditional Irish band Gráda who have toured internationally extensively.

In 2021 the former Festival Director of Wellington's CubaDupa ducked away from city life and programming some of the city's major events. He traded it in for a creative life in the small Northland town with his wife and daughter. 

Gerry joins Culture 101 to celebrate all things cultural in Kerikeri.
