Celtic Connections proudly presents The Great Pleasure and The Black Denims

A Rock N Roll, Gypsy Punk, Blues, Jazz and Surf Fusion that feels like an Italian car chase in the roaring 20's. The Great Pleasure are Gillian Christie and Marc Molloy backed by a monster supergroup of Scottish talent. 

Christopher Dickie (Glasvegas) on drums, Richard Anderson (Strange Blue Dreams) on bass, Timmy Allen (Awkward Family Portraits) on guitar. Backing vocals coming from Alex Hynes, Tom McGuire, Charlotte Marshall & Olivia Jane with brass section the Harry Weir Trio (Corto Alto).

The Black Denims are Scotland’s newest country supergroup. Fronted by Scott McPherson, 29, and with an expanse of 8 members, the band hail from diverse musical backgrounds, and seek to blend the disciplines of jazz, folk, bluegrass and country into their songwriting lore. While retaining a Scottish charm, and with an emphasis on poetic lyricism and story telling, the group are known for their energetic live performances and melancholic themes. Their series of mini-albums ‘Grateful For Small Mercies Act 1,2,3’ are their firm stamp on the new beginnings of Scottish folk music.
