The Brothers Gillespie
Date: Friday, 18th March 2022
Time: 7:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Described by Folk Radio UK as ‘weaving an especially compelling magic’, and ‘showing off British acoustic music in its best possible light’, Northumbrian duo The Brothers Gillespie sing songs of great lyrical power, animated by the sound of soaring sibling harmony, inspired guitar playing and a rich array of acoustic instruments. Their songs and performances have a rare, intimate energy that is both earthy and ethereal, romantic and radical.
Brothers James and Sam Gillespie grew up in the small village of Wall on the old Roman frontier, bounded on one side by a magical hill and on the other by the North Tyne river. It was in this valley that music took hold of them. They found a world that was still alive, that breathed magic, and which became part of the inspiration for their song. Since that time, the brothers have traveled widely and sung their songs at campfires, concert halls, Parisian circuses, folk clubs, and a host of UK festivals including Sidmouth and Cambridge Folk Fests.
