CHRIS SESAR & GILL HALLIDAY 

Onstage 21.30hrs

Up and coming singer song-writers, Chris Sesar and Gill Halliday have been rapidly gaining recognition for their genre defying repertoire, effortlessly blending Celtic folk and roots & country music with a brush of gypsy jazz.

Chris Sesar’s songs paint the landscape of human relationships with gentle colours and delicate detail, sometimes bitter sweet, sometimes dark and with a comic twist.

Since March 2016 Chris has been touring Scottish Venues with Angus based singer songwriter Gill Halliday.

Her intuitive use of wind instruments adds a layer of depth and versatility to the performance whilst her powerful voice delivers songs with heartfelt honesty.

Individually, Chris and Gill are both brilliant vocal performers. Their harmonies, however, are nothing short of mesmerising.

RADIO PACHUCO

ONSTAGE: 21:30

Radio Pachuco came into being in 2011 as the house band for Saturnalia cabaret, an ill-fated production involving some of Scotland’s great performers. As such they had to provide the background music for burlesque acts, feats of hypnosis and even a fakir hammering a nail into his head. Certainly not a squeamish band. As time has passed Radio Pachuco have become a tight 6-piece ensemble, playing a mix of swing classics, jazz numbers and songs of the 1950’s. Shying away from tired crooner material, their cool and fast-paced performance is a mix between Cole Porter and Etta James, and singer Sophie Adams’ voice will make you want to rummage through your grandparents’ record collection.
