Wedding Showcase | Switzerland

We had a fantastic time at the ‘inaugural’ Comedy Store showcase last friday – with loads of you in attendance helping to make it a great night. Some excellent suggestions from the crowd ensured an interesting mix of music, and by all accounts you seemed to get a good idea of how versatile the Gillan Edgar Party Band can be. The calendar is filling up as we speak! Just returned from a stint at Papalla bar in Zermatt, Switzerland, in the shadow of the iconic Matterhorn (the mountain that inspired the Paramount Pictures logo). Returned to a weekend of weddings and last minute gigs, so today is blanked out in the diary for ‘Recuperation’ (ie. time to tackle the garden… thank heaven for the nailgun). More full band showcases to follow – you can always catch me solo acoustic at the Comedy Store on the following dates; Friday 29th April…

Public Showcase | The Comedy Store, 18th March

I know many of the couples I met at this year’s Tatton Wedding Show were dying to experience the Gillan Edgar Party Band live for themselves, and I’m happy to let them and you know that I’ve arranged the first of this year’s public showcases. Having enjoyed a long term Acoustic Solo residency at Manchester’s Comedy Store, I knew it would be the perfect place to invite you all down to check out the band in full swing! We’ll be appearing on Friday 18th March, with a short 30 minute set at 9:30, followed by a full gig starting from 11pm (and finishing whenever we all see fit!). It’s free entry to the Helter Skelter Bar downstairs where we’ll be playing, and I’ve got some free drinks vouchers for the first 10 couples who send me a message through the contact page to let me know they’ll be attending. A…

Live Session | Make You Feel My Love | Rebecca Reville Videography

As promised, Vimeo is once again playing ball, and I can finally post the most recent ‘Live in Studio G’ performance – ‘Make You Feel My Love’. This song is familiar to most as a beautiful, simple and very powerful ballad from Adele’s first album, 19. Originally written by Bob Dylan, I think she did a fantastic job of personalising it, and making it sound like one of her own. One of my couples this year have requested that I perform it for their first dance, so I thought it would be cool to capture some of the rehearsal process. With the help of Rebecca Reville (www.rebeccareville.com) filming of the first few run throughs actually evolved into another Live session shoot! So, a cold February night, in Studio G near the MEN Arena, on the old rickety joanna, here is my version of ‘Make You Feel My Love’: Let me…

February News | Adele Session | Showcase

Not long til we’re all basking in the glow of the summer sun (come on Mother Nature!) and the Wedding Season gets properly under way. It’s going to be a busy summer for the Gillan Edgar Party band with plenty of couples having already snapped us up to get their parties going after the nuptials have been exchanged and the (dreaded?) speeches are done and dusted… I had a great response from Tatton – I’m in the process of arranging a ‘public showcase’ for all the couples that want to experience the Gillan Edgar Party Band in real life. It’s going to be within the next month or so – keep your eyes peeled for the mailout when it arrives… Still plenty of acoustic solo gigs for you to come and see what I can do by myself however – you’re always welcome to come down and shout out a…
