THEA
GILMORE
The most coherent, literate and charged British singer-songwriter of
her generation..." so says MOJO magazine about her 2013 album
'Regardless', featuring the hit single 'Love Came Looking for Me'.
Theas autumn tour 2015 promotes 'Ghosts &
Graffiti' and expect to hear old favourites such
as 'London Town' from her 2012 album 'Don't
Stop Singing',and used extensively in the
BBC's coverage of the Olympic Games, as
well as Radio 2 favourite 'You're the Radio'
and many others from her extensive back
catalogue.
Ghosts & Graffiti - The new
album... with a difference.
The Waterboys, Joan Baez, Billy Bragg, John
Cooper Clarke, Joan as Policewoman, King
Creosote, I Am Kloot? Names that seldom
appear in the same sentence, let alone on the
same album. But the album is 'Ghosts &
Graffiti' by Thea Gilmore - and when the artist
is Thea Gilmore, normal rules don't apply.
Indeed, throughout Gilmore's career (17
years and counting), normal rules have never
applied. This most gifted and fiercely
independent singer / songwriter threw out the
career book from day one.
"Ghosts And Graffiti" is a retrospective with a
difference. A 20 track double album where
Thea Gilmore looks both forward and back. It
includes all her best known songs on one
record for the first time.
