“Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.”
That’s what Jock Ferry used to say – a storyteller, a singer, a family man, a teacher and a friend. When Jock went to war in the 40s he didn’t know what he was in for and the truth of war was a tough cross to bear.
Lullaby Jock: Silent Generations is the story of Simon's father, Jock Ferry, and his return from service in WWII. Like so many men of that generation he battled to contain his savage memories and deal with the fallout of coming home from their 'brave journey'. This is the story of his dad but it's also the story of every New Zealander of that generation and its effects on the generations to come.
Actor Simon Ferry relates an audience anecdote: "After one show a woman approached me and thanked me for the performance. She said ....'I am going to go and see my father.... I haven't spoken to him for ten years. Now, I finally understand why he was the way he was."
