Brrr! It has been chilly but Letham Nights #24 will warm you up!
Saturday 23rd June 8pm £8/£6
Before long it will be midsummer. It’s sure to be a long balmy night and with the sound of The Gillyflowers drifting through the air, you won’t be able to stop yourself steppin out for a bit of a dance at Letham Village Hall…
The Gillyflowers are lead by hard-wired and intrinsic talent, Kirsten Adamson. Spending time in Nashville with dad Stuart Adamson of Big Country, at the tender age of 12 Kirsten recognised that her particular song writing style was ‘a little more country’ than a girl from Scotland’s should be.
Moving around so much as a child also landed Kirsten in Orlando for a while where she developed much of her live experience and, having served her ‘apprenticeship,’ became a guest vocalist for Big Country both live and on the album Driving To Damascus.
Now 26 and living in Edinburgh, she has just finished writing her first album and has been lucky enough to meet 6 like minded individuals with talent and passion for her music. The band have just finished recording their first album in Edinburgh with producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ali Moniak, which will be due for release summer 2012.
”The Gillyflowers have a growing following, and have in Kirsten Adamson a Dolly Partonesque country singer of poise and mighty ability.” David Pollock – The Scotsman
”With Adamson’s voice and acoustic guitar lent harmonic weight by two similarly apparelled female back-up singers, several examples of wild-flower discreetly adorn the stage. Both lend a showbiz dash to an already tight-knit and well-turned-out combo.” Neil Cooper -The Herald
“See them while you can still see the whites of their eyes. If your heart doesn’t melt, ask your doctor for a transplant.” Ed -17 Seconds Records
