User:JJ Gilmour

"James Jinky Gilmour" had his first break in the music industry after joining The Silencers in 1989, prior to that JJ had been working in on his own music. He had his first tv performance on Tyne Tees television show "Junior showtime" at the mere age of six and after years of performing, writing and travelling he caught up with the band he was to join in Canada. The Silencers were on a North American tour with English band Squeeze when they met with him in Vancouver, shortly after that meeting JJ returned to Dundee, Scotland and started busking to earn a coin. The call came from The Silencers frontman Jimme O'neill arrived a year or so after his return. He remained with the ban until 1996 recording three albums with them.
