bio

The Gillies - Susan Turner and Mark Evans, are an award winning contemporary singer-songwriter duo with influences from Americana and Folk."Music for your graveside is one way they describe their songs. Their dark musical bare bones style is the sound of steel-strung and tenor guitars weaving together. It flits between the ethereal and gritty down-home reality, understated melodies pull you into their haunting songs of love, loss, tangled relationships."

In 2022 they released 'CAN’T' which received local and international radio play, and the track 6am won Best Single in the GSMC Music Awards. The track 'Storm' was chosen by Fatea Magazine for it's Spring Showcase Session album. They have played festivals including Maverick, Wick St, Hope, FolkEast, Deepdale and Sweeps. They have headlined at Twickfolk, Cambridge, Runnymede and other clubs, and supported Gordon Giltrap, Jill Jackson, Green Diesel, Billy Kemp and Matt Woods. In 2019 they toured through Belgium, Germany and Austria.

They have released four albums, an EP and a Christmas single - often working with award winning producer, Phil Dearing from LSound Studios, London. Currently they are writing and recording a new material and performing across the UK.
