JJ Gilmour returns to HAC with feel-good performance
Talented Scottish singer songwriter JJ Gilmour is back at the Harbour Arts Centre this December.
Returning in time for the countdown to Christmas, JJ Gilmour’s Jinky Bells is taking place on Friday 12 December from 8pm at North Ayrshire’s flagship Arts and Culture venue.
A great opportunity to see a very special performance at a local venue, head along to hear songs from his international career with successful band The Silencers. The acclaimed singer and songwriter will also play a host of songs from his 25 year solo career.
JJ is looking forward being back at the HAC, he shares: "I’ve been playing the HAC for many years and enjoyed the sell-out crowds. The people of Ayrshire have always been supportive of my music and also of my old band The Silencers music for over 30 years now. Expect a night to remember with crafted songs and storytelling."
JJ is also hoping that the upcoming evening will bring a boost to anyone who may be struggling with the festive period – a time of year that can be hard for many of us.
He adds: "The arts are a massive part of assisting with our mental health. I hope my performance offers a night away from any worries or cares, so why not come along to be part of the musical journey? It will be a mix of tears and laughter for all!”
Tickets are £25.80 (£24.00 + £1.80 booking fee) - purchase tickets directly online now via the Harbour Arts Centre website.
Located at Irvine Harbourside, the venue is a single-story building and accessible for all. It is fully equipped for wheelchair users with two prime viewing areas in the auditorium (please book in advance). An induction loop is in place for hearing impaired visitors and there are accessible toilet facilities.
