Gerry Rafferty, who died in January 2011, was one of Scotland's best loved singer/songwriters, famous around the world for hits such as Baker Street and Stuck in the Middle With You.
This ArtWorks Scotland film, narrated by David Tennant, tells the story of Rafferty's life through his often autobiographical songs and includes contributions from Gerry's daughter Martha and brother Jim, friends and colleagues including Billy Connolly, John Patrick Byrne, Rab Noakes and Joe Egan, admirers such as Tom Robinson and La Roux, and words and music from Rafferty himself.

Bring It All Home - Celtic Connections tribute concert
Recorded at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall Main Auditorium on 22 & 23 January 2012
Broadcasted by BBC Four on 24 February 2012 
Duration: 90 minutes

Playing to a packed Royal Concert Hall, Roddy Hart and the Lonesome Fire kicked things off with the title track of Gerry’s first solo album Can I Have My Money Back with co-organiser Rab Noakes on vocals.
This was followed by The Proclaimers for their first appearance of the night. All the big names took to the stage in the remainder of the first half including a chillingly beautiful version of Moonlight And Gold by former co-Stealers Wheel founder Rab Noakes. The first set closed with a great rendition of Shipyard Town by former Cream bassist Jack Bruce, joined by Jarlath Henderson on Irish pipes.
The second half got underway with the stand out performers of the evening - the Rafferty family - singing ‘Whatever’s Written  in your Heart’. Great numbers followed including an absolutely brilliant version of Baker Street by Irish singer-songwriter Paul Brady. The night closed with The Proclaimers, Barbara Dickson, Ron Sexsmith, Jack Bruce, Emma Pollock, Tom Robinson, James Vincent McMorrow and the Rafferty family joining Paul Brady to sing Stealers Wheel’s biggest hit Stuck in the Middle with You.
Undoubtedly a highlight of this year’s Celtic Connections programme and a fitting tribute to one of the greatest talents Scotland has ever produced.
