JJ Gilmour is an outstanding songwriter, singer and performer. Of that there is no doubt. He first came to public attention co-fronting the Scottish rock band The Silencers. JJ had been a long time admirer of the band, with them both coming from the same town, Coatbridge, and jumped at the chance to join the band when asked. The band had a huge following in Europe, especially in France & Spain where they would play stadiums sized shows. It gave JJ a platform that he relished, launching his solo career and establishing him as a singer, songwriter & performer of some repute.
Since leaving the band, JJ has only performed some of the songs he has sung with The Silencers once, at the Glasgow ABC for Burns Night in aid of the band's guitarist Cha Burns, but this very special show will see JJ perform the songs he sung with the band once again. JJ will also play a few fans favourites from his solo career as well.
This is going to be a special one.
