There's always http://www.fourmenandadog.com/biography.html and Gerry does have an entry in 'The Rough Guide to Irish Music'.

"Gerry does have an entry in 'The Rough Guide to Irish Music'."

But .. but .. that would involve reading a book and taking notes!
That is not the way essays are cut and pasted, I mean, written, these days

You could take a small detour and talk about tenor banjo in particular. It's history, it's entrance into trad, etc. Should add to your word count substantially. Probably somewhere in the middle so you start and end talking about Gerry.
