Welcome to the Gillan Edgar Event Music website! Please browse around to find out why I’m the ideal candidate to make your wedding reception or private event go with a bang, along with my brilliant bandmates. There’s no other Wedding Band like us in Manchester, I guarantee! We take pride in enhancing any celebration we’re invited to perform at – from milestone birthday parties, to company summer barbecues, bar mitzvahs – the list is endless! It has been my personal pleasure helping wedding couples make their day as entertaining and memorable as possible for their families and guests for over 10 years. From a special acoustic version of a favourite song as the Bride enters the ceremony, through ‘live lounge’ style afternoon sessions to keep the flow of the champagne reception going, to filling the dancefloor with energetically delivered versions of popular songs from nowadays and not-so-nowadays! When you book…
Actually, it’s more like the Anti-‘Wedding Band’ Wedding Band… To clarify – we don’t hate Weddings, we absolutely love them! We never wanted to seem like a band with no personality who look like they’re just ‘phoning it in’. As performers, we want to be engaging, interactive and fun without compromising our own approach to music, while staunchly avoiding the cringe-factor! A wedding is by far the most important day in the shared life of a couple, up there with the birth of their children (although I can’t speak from experience on the latter!). It certainly was for me and my wife, and we wanted every element of the day to reflect us – our personalities, our tastes, our hopes and dreams. So I can completely empathise with a couple who want the music to embody their preferences. It still has to be entertaining, to get their guests up and…
Live Showcase || Thursday 30th January 2020 || Albert’s Schloss || 10pm onward 2020, where in the flippin’ pancake competition did you spring from? You cheeky young thing, a new decade – a new beginning. And plenty of the same old brain-busting techno-societal upheaval we’ve all come to know and love in the preceding decade no doubt. Let’s kick things off in good style this year with a little bit of what I like to call BLISTERINGLY HOT INDIE FLAVOURED POP ROCK WITH A SIDE ORDER OF SOULFUL SINGALONGS AND SUCHLIKE. Catchy, no? And what better arena in which to display our wares than Manchester’s Top Live Venue – Albert’s Schloss? None, that’s who. What. For the love of all that is good about life, come and join us on Thursday 30th Jan from the usual time (10pm) for a hefty dose of all your favourites, some forgotten – some…
I’m chuffed to pieces to be one of the very few featured musical artists on the How To I Do website. Having been on the other side of the wedding cake, so to speak, I know how daunting finding all the suppliers for your day can be. There’s loads of places to search, feel out, find, list and debate with your future better half. And the internet only makes this process about a million times more difficult – talk about choice paralysis! So, faced with this glut of information, it’s a rare treat to find such a well curated, almost bespoke-feeling selection of people and companies who can add their unique talents to your big day; whether that’s cakes, music, photography, stationary; the list goes on! How To I Do is there to ensure the process of finding the people who best reflect you and your tastes. Having met with…
Live Showcase || Thursday 21st March 2019 || Albert’s Schloss || 10pm onward Spring is almost sprung, and the songs they shall be sung! What a wonderful way to get into the warmer weather and lighter nights; sauntering down lasciviously to Manchester’s Premiere Live Venue and copping an ear-and-eyeful of the plucky youngish pop-rock-punskters The Gillan Edgar Band… I can almost hear it now… “Do you know any Drake…?” “What time are you on…?” “Is that your vehicle outside in the loading bay, sir…?” – it’s an inimitable experience. I certainly daren’t imitate it! We’ll be starting things large at 10pm, and with free entry all night to the best Thursday evening venue in Manchester there’s no better place to assert the dominance of your dancefloor digits (swill a fair few pints of unpasteurised pleasure-pop) and assume the position of a fully entertained and enthralled audience! Mercy very much beaucoup!,…
Live Showcase || Thursday 20th December 2018 || Albert’s Schloss || 10pm onward Ding dong merrily on high my loves! An essential right royal knees-up this 20th December for various reasons, including (but not limited to); 1. It’s the final live showcase of the year, in the fantastically vibrant surrounds of Manchester’s premier Weimar-inspired drinking tavern – Albert’s Schloss; 2. It’s the Gillan Edgar Band Christmas get-together (open to anyone and everyone who’s ever been in, guested with, manned the faders for, or otherwise been involved in the life of the Gillan Edgar Band); 3. It’s the last Thursday before the big day itself, so it should be celebrated with aplomb; 4. Dancing has been shown to eliminate amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the body thereby decreasing the chances of developing nasty illnesses in later life; 5. Fun is great and should be had, it’s just really rather nice…
Live Showcase || Thursday 13th September 2018 || Albert’s Schloss || 10pm onward Alright alright alright alright! Come and join us at Albert’s Schloss this Thursday to feel the powerful tingles that can only be created by the experience of seeing and hearing music conjured out of the ether before your very eyes and ears!
