The Brothers Gillespie | Live at Langley Tracks
We’re pleased to welcome Northumbrian folk duo The Brothers Gillespie (James and Sam Gillespie) to Langley Tracks next summer.
The songs of The Brothers Gillespie are animated by lyrical poetry, fluid fingerstyle guitar, multi-instrumental musicianship and the glorious tones of their blood harmonies. Their music is rooted in the earth and arises most strongly when they are out walking in the borderlands with their packs and instruments. Bringing together visionary mythopoetics with a radical spirit, the brothers tread an older path whilst singing with fierce tenderness to the present time in its grief and luminosity.
Their live performances are known for a rare intimacy and the spontaneous ways they weave tales around the songs, inviting audiences into the heart of the music.
In October 2026, the brothers released their fourth studio album, Kingfisher. Written on the banks of the rivers Tweed and Tyne, the album explores love, loss, grief and longing, drawing on the landscapes and natural world of the North.
The brothers have performed at Cambridge, Sidmouth and Moseley Folk Festivals and opened for artists including Lankum and Sam Lee.
As The Guardian writes, they have “won hearts with a combination of close vocal harmonies and songs carved from the rock, turf and skies of their homeland.”
