Gerry Cott (born 15 October 1954, in Ireland) was a guitarist and songwriter with the Irish new wave band, The Boomtown Rats. He started playing flamenco guitar when he was 11 years old. In 1966 he saw Bob Dylan performing live in Dublin and that influenced him a lot.[1]

He left The Boomtown Rats in 1982, prior to the recording of the band's fifth album V Deep. In 1984 he released the five song album "I Left My Hat in Haiti" that included the Canadian single "Alphabet Town". He is now a successful animal photographer with A-Z Dogs [2]
