Have You Heard: Eilish Gilligan

When did you start making music and why? My first musical memory is my little five-year-old fingers creeping tentatively across my Nanna's piano… then my wonderful parents nurtured the spark. 

Sum up your musical sound in three words? Deep sea pop. 

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Yikes - well I guess it would have to be something eclectic, so I wouldn't get bored too fast. Maybe Bon Iver's 22, A Million or Drag It Down On You by Ceres.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? I'm not a very rock'n'roll person!! But it was probably when my bandmate and I somehow landed the penthouse suite on a recent interstate trip. So roomy. 

Why should people come and see your band? I like to think audiences can take what they need from my show - a little solace, a little freedom. 

When and where are your next gigs? 7 Oct, Node 0; 14 Oct, Howler (supporting Yeo)
