I am looking for information about Gerry Hope, who was a sound engineer for The Searchers in the 1960s.

Gerry Hope was sound engineer from the mid-80s into the 90s. He was previously with a number of name bands in the 70s/80s period.

Thanks Tim. Is he still in the recording industry?

No. as far as I remember he gave up the music business to spend more time at home with his wife and young family. By the way, his sister is Ellie Hope who was the vocalist in Eddie (Wally) Rothe's old group
