Happy New Year all. So proud of my daughter Mhairi and her lovely singing on this, her version of Medicine by Daughter, to music and video by me with Jan. Just released into a more optimistic 2022! xG

Skin (The Big Light Remix)
With gigs and recording face to face with people out of the window for the time being, I spent some time having fun remixing (with Jan as Executive Producer!). We have really enjoyed transforming this great track ‘Skin’ by Man of Moon from Rock to Electronic Dance. Thanks Chris & Michael. Not our usual style, more Donna Summer meets The Chemical Brothers! Enjoy J&G xx

The Big Light – The Wee Pub, Edinburgh – 17 Aug 2019
Thanks to all our friends and fans for packing out a busy and very noisy Wee Pub for our gig as part of the Free Edinburgh Festival. Great fun and we all had a drink and a laugh after too! The only evidence we have is this poor, noisy snippet of video!

The BIG Light – Brig Below, Edinburgh – 27 Feb 2019
After a few acoustic duo gigs as ‘Jan & George Glen’ we decided to go bigger and thus ‘The BIG Light’ was put on! The idea is to add more sounds and players to our set. Nothing formal but a bigger sound with an eclectic set of songs and guest musicians. This was our first try out!
We started with our acoustic duo songs, then were joined by good friend Dave Paul on electric guitar for 4 bigger arrangements. Dave’s lead guitar augmented with simple looped drum patterns, some bass guitar and extra harmony vocals too. Even though we were so nervous and made lots of mistakes, it went down well and thanks to so many friends for coming out to support us. More soon!

Jan & George Glen – Wee Pub, Edinburgh – 18 Aug 2018
This was probably the first proper gig that Jan & I had done together thanks to the Free Festival as part of Edinburgh Festival. And appropriately excited and nervous we were! But all went well with our 11 songs, and many thanks are due to the organisers and all the lovely people who came along!

Jan & George Glen – Café Voltaire, Edinburgh – 6 July 2018
Jan and I were honoured to play a short but sweet set at Karen’s work leaving do. Nice practice for us with our own PA and my new mixing desk. Great fun, especially closing with Karen’s Bowie favourite ‘Prettiest Star’ … shock and surprise on her face .. tears all round!
