Another chance to catch the Gillan Edgar Band in full flight on Friday 29th March at the gorgeous Knutsford Wine Bar. A few new tunes to tickle your fancy, and as ever requests gladly taken on the night! Free entry and starting about 10pm.

Well hello there! It’s a wee while off, but I thought I’d get some info down about our upcoming showcase at Knutsford Wine Bar on Friday 1st March for all of you who are planning to come and see the 4-piece in action… We generally start about 9:30, so make sure and get there in plenty of time to experience the whole shebang. A few new tunes in the set – come and see our take on some of your favourite songs! And as always, get shouting out your requests – you never know what kind of inspiration might strike on the night… All the best, Gill _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 41a King Street, Knutsford, WA16 6DW – 01565 750459

How do! A friend of mine who is currently browsing around the net trying to get some wedding inspiration happened upon a fantastic blog aimed toward helping Grooms with their allocated share of the wedding plans… www.iamstaggered.com The post he landed on was an interview with Russell, a Groom I’d played for last year, and lo-and-behold there was another great little snap of me in there, courtesy of Blue Sky Photography. Have a peek and see the nice things Russell also said about me in the interview! There’s also of course lots of inspiration for gentlemen who are taking on their fair share of the wedding duties (or as much as they’ve been entrusted with at least!). And of course, if you’re looking for some inspiring musical entertainment for your big day – just drop me a line! Gillan x

Filmed after a rather eventful evening reception, Luke and Nicola give an appraisal of my involvement in their day. I’d sung acoustically for them in the afternoon, then the band had played for the night do – including their first dance, “Baby I Love You” in the style of The Ramones! We also dropped a bit of “Blitzkrieg Bop” later in the proceedings at Luke’s request – I certainly didnt’t expect the reaction we got!

How do lads and lasses! So, it was Tatton Park time again this weekend past, and I’m still recovering from the aftermath! I’d love to say the load in and load out gets easier and swifter each year but sadly not – still the last exhibitors to leave on sunday night! I wouldn’t be happy with a half-hearted stand though… For those of you who took a CD but didn’t get a chance to talk to me, this is a headsup that the live showcase is taking place this coming Saturday at Hogan’s of Hale (9th Feb 2013). It’s free entry until 10:30, but we’re on from about 9:30 so you’ll already be in the thick of it anyway! It’s the four-piece band, so you’ll get an idea of the kind of repertoire and energy we can bring to your evening reception. Requests gladly taken! Check the audio page for…

August greetings lads and lassies! Well, September is nearly upon us which means another chance to check out the fantastic new 4-Piece Gillan Edgar Band. This time we’ll be noising up the Friday night crowd, again at Knutsford Wine Bar, so expect 38% more of everything – 38% louder singalongs, 38% more flamboyant guitar solos, 38% more shoe polish and hair product… The usual terms and conditions apply – it’s totally free entry and starts from around 9pm. Take up thy dancing shoes and hustle! Again, if you need any directions or owt, just drop me a line by phone or email. For some reason the carrier pigeons haven’t been making it back on their return journeys, so best avoid that particular mode of communication for now… Toodle-bye! Gill x

Just had a lovely message through from David and Sally thanking me for singing throughout their big day at Peover Golf Club. We had a real blast, and ended up playing both live sets back to back, with a short break to swap guitars due to a broken string! David has sent through a couple photos from the daytime, so credit goes to their photographer Gemma Jones (www.gjonesphotography.com). “Hi Gillan, Just a short note to say thank you to you and your band for performing at our Wedding. Everybody thought your acoustic set in the afternoon was amazing. You and the band were brilliant at night as you can see from the attached photos. Let us know if you have any public gigs planned as we would love to come and see you. Best Wishes David & Sally” If you’d like to come and see the Gillan Edgar Band for…
