Bio
The Gillies are an award winning singer-songwriter duo, originally from Norfolk but now live in SE London, influenced by Gillian Welch, John Moreland, Rachael Sermani and Lucinda Williams.
Music for your graveside is one way they like to describe their songs.Their fragile, dark musical bare bones style is the sound of steel-strung and tenor guitars weaving together and falls between the ethereal and gritty down-home reality. Understated melodies pull you into their haunting songs.
They won the GSMC award for best single and were chosen for the FATEA Spring Showcase Sessions. They have released 4 albums, toured through Europe and played live on BBC Radio. They are currently writing and recording a new album, and playing venues and festivals across the UK and Europe.
We have headlined at Cambridge Folk Club and Twickfolk, and last year played Maverick and other festivals.
