Stephen Mc Elligott ( A.K.A Gilly )
I'm an Irish singer/songwriter and my influences range from the beatles, early day kinks to the more current and contemporary artists such as the fleet foxes, Ray LaMontagne and Devendra Banhart.
''It has such a good feel to it, and is just completely infectious.'' Taxi A&R - Song - She Blew Me Away
''from the image laden verses to the simple title/refrain, which works beautifully the song is compelling and I just wanna play it again as soon as it ends.'' Taxi A&R - She Blew me Away
''The songs have a cool vibe and feature ironic, entertaining and personal lyrics. The capable and, at times, idiosyncratic, lead vocals suit the material well. The musicianship is solid and fitting and the production sounds good overall.'' Taxi A&R - Songs She Blew Me away and Arrabella
