It has been over 20 years since the former Silencers singer has stood on a stage and sung the songs he sang with the band. ˜Breaking The Silence is about to change that.

JJ Gilmour is an outstanding songwriter, singer & performer of that there is no doubt. He first came to public attention co-fronting the Scottish rock band The Silencers. JJ had been a long-time admirer of the band, with them both coming from the same town, Coatbridge, and jumped at the chance to join the band when asked. The band had a huge following in Europe, especially in France & Spain where they would play stadiums sized shows. It gave JJ a platform that he relished, launching his solo career and establishing him as a singer, songwriter & performer of some repute.

Since leaving the band, JJ has only performed some of the songs he has sung with The Silencers once, at the Glasgow ABC for Burns Night in aid of the bands guitarist Cha Burns, but ˜Breaking The Silence will see JJ perform the songs he sung with the band once again, this time with his all-star band, featuring Ross McFarlane on drums (Gerry Cinnamon, Texas & The Proclaimers), Lewis Gordon on bass (Deacon Blue & Texas), Phil Kane on keys (The Silencers) & Jon Mackenzie on guitar

In August this year, JJ and his band played their first Breaking The Silence show to a sold-out audience at Airdrie Town Hall, receiving two standing ovations.

This is going to be a very special show.
