Gabi Garbutt & The Illuminations

Fresh off the back of their tour with Edwyn Collins, Gabi Garbutt & The Illuminations are celebrating the release of their debut album 'The Discredited Language of Angels', produced by Sean Read (Dexys Midnight Runners/ Beth Orton/ Chrissie Hynde) and recorded in part at Edwyn Collins' Clashnarrow studio in Helmsdale.

Gabi Garbutt's music combines a poetic edge with a visceral energy, inspired by the lyrical rock'n'roll of cultural giants Patti Smith and The Clash, and the speedy, multi-layered drive of Northern Soul. Her expressive, captivating performances are backed by the pulsating electric sounds and sweet harmonies of her band, The Illuminations.
