Gilday & The Glasgow Cross is a collaboration between award winning spoken word artist Gilday and multi-instrumentalist Ralph Hector. Marrying contemporary spoken word to an array of post punk, kraut and electronica; the project foregrounds an uncompromising new voice amid dynamic compositions. With a lyrical style alternating between witty wordplay and stark confessionals, the album delves into the crushing absurdity of modern living – at once painfully personal and achingly universal.
Gilday is a writer and spoken word artist from Glasgow, Scotland. Kevin has performed all over the world including the BBC 6 Music Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, Toronto Fringe, Vancouver Fringe, Belladrum, Lingo (Dublin) and Glastonbury. He has supported artists such as Saul Williams, Sage Francis and George the Poet. His writing has appeared in publications and websites around the world while his series of videos created for the BBC have been viewed by over a quarter of a million people.
Ralph Hector is a multi-instrumentalist and producer. An alumni of Glasgow's The Sea Kings (BBC 6 Music, Radio Scotland, XFM) and Santa Lucia, he currently writes and records with duo The Paperback Throne (BBC 6 Music, Radio Scotland) and plays keys with Pelts (Radio Scotland). Ralph collaborated with Kevin on the 2016 Record Store Day single 'Glasgow Overture' (Tom Robinson Mixtape, Amazing Radio) and performed in the band in Kevin's stage play 'Stephanie Says' before launching this new project.
