Event
The Brothers Gillespie at The Chimp House, Bristol
Northumbrian song weavers The Brothers Gillespie are at last returning to Bristol. Join them for a night of lyrical, soulful folk music in an intimate venue.
Brothers James and Sam Gillespie grew up in rural Northumberland in the North of England and sing finely crafted original and traditional songs. Rich with lyrical intensity and the sounds of soaring sibling harmony, guitars, flute, fiddle and mandolin, their second album The Fell has been described as showing British acoustic music in its best possible light (Folk Radio UK) .
As well as the folk traditions of Britain and Ireland they are deeply inspired by the folk revival artists of the 60s and 70s including Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Dylan, Cohen and the American roots folk and blues traditions.
The brothers have travelled widely since 2015, singing everywhere from campfires to concert halls, Parisian circuses and folk festivals. Their performances are often intimate and personal, animated by a rare energy that is both earthy and ethereal, romantic and radical.
This is a moving and surprising album. Stunning songs beautifully sung and played. Without doubt a classic in the making from a duo potent with potential. (Northern Sky)
