George Gilman - Music
George Gilman is a guitarist, vocalist and serial dabbler of other instruments. After spending many a formative year playing the folk clubs of London and Scotland as a solo artist, George had somewhat of a musical identity crisis, abandoning his folk roots to explore other areas. George spent some time as a guitar-for-hire and freelance composer, playing with many groups including the Glaswegian psychedelic-punk band ‘the Girobabies’. Currently, George works as a music therapist with Nordoff-Robbins and can be found gigging with post-folk/rock group ‘Salt Moon’ and the world-music collective ‘the Flotsam Orchestra’.
After more than three years playing in ensembles, George is once again trying his hand as a solo artist. Playing original and traditional material with his own blend of folk, jazz and alternative influences.
