The Lapelles will be reforming for a one off gig to commemorate frontman Gary Watson and to celebrate 10 years of his radiant life and dedicated contribution to Scotland’s music scene.

Ten years on from the tragic loss of their frontman, Gary Watson, The Lapelles will be returning to the stage for one night to celebrate the life and music of their late friend. In 2015 the five-piece from East Kilbride quickly rose through the ranks and established themselves as a breakthrough act worth your attention. Playing in landmark venues across the country, The Lapelles quickly earned an established fanbase. Gary’s skill for songwriting coupled with the talent and authenticity of fellow members Jack Anderson, Leon Green, Christopher Ballantyne, and Jamie Holmes, resulted in countrywide recognition and the immediate success of their debut single‘Snakehips.

In the space of just three years, The Lapelles supported artists such as The Last Shadow Puppets, Blossoms, The Kooks, and The View - to name but a few - and at the time of Gary’s accident the boys were set to support fellow East Kilbride band, The Jesus and Mary Chain.

The band will be joined by their friends and special guests as they perform songs from their seminal self-titled album. Tickets for this unique gig will go on sale from 6th March, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Glasgow Humane Society, a non-profit organisation dedicated to saving lives on the River Clyde and promoting water safety and accident prevention.
