To celebrate the 200th anniversary of John Walker’s invention of the friction match in Stockton‑on‑Tees, there is a short time to get both our CDs as a set for just £25. This special moment coincides with the world première of a brand‑new documentary about Walker, produced by the British Matchbox Label and Bookmatch Society, an international community passionate about matchboxes, labels, bookmatches and match‑related artefacts from around the world. We’re honoured that Gil Galad’s music was chosen to help bring this story to life, and this CD offer is the perfect way to mark the occasion. Order your copy now and own a piece of the celebration.

🎷🎸🚨 𝐆𝐢𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥! 🚨🎸🎷
For years we've been accused of trying to take over the world. Turns out we started with the Royal Albert Hall...
Back in the Day (1978 this one was!) Darlington Big Band took to the famous stage, and lurking amongst the talented musicians were no fewer than three former members of Gil Galad!
🎸 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐧, lead guitarist from the original late 70s and early 80s line-up, was holding down the guitar chair.
🎷 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, our original bass player from those early days, appears to have swapped four strings for a tenor saxophone and was happily blowing alongside the legendary Ronnie Scott what a musician.
🥁 And on drums was 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧, who stepped in behind the Gil Galad kit during the early 80s when 𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐬 couldn't make it.
This marked the third time that Paul and Chris have performed at the Royal Albert Hall. Not bad for a bunch of lads who once thought carrying their own gear was the height of musical achievement!
It's another proud chapter in the wonderfully tangled musical history of Gil Galad. We've gone from pubs, clubs and questionable dressing rooms to one of the most famous concert venues on the planet.
We're not saying Gil Galad is a training academy for Royal Albert Hall performers...
...but the evidence is starting to look suspicious. 🤔😂
It was a fantastic experience and a memorable night of music.

Sometimes the journey slows.
Sometimes the questions become more important than the answers.
As John Walker pauses to reflect, he wonders whether his guide Victoria Blixen can truly be trusted. Surrounded by whispering woods and growing uncertainty, every decision matters. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐳𝐢 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫

🎶⛪ 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓 #𝟐: 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐏𝐄𝐃 ⛪🎶
After attending The Long Awaited Party, it seems some of our guests wandered off in search of something a little more... spiritual.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? - "𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐝".
Recorded back in 1980s at Durham's legendary Guardian Studios, this mysterious slice of vintage Gil Galad has now emerged from the mists of time, carefully released for your listening pleasure.
Now, we're not entirely sure whether "the piped" refers to tobacco, record organs, secret musicians, wandering minstrels, or a particularly enthusiastic plumber. The mystery remains unsolved over forty years later.
What we do know is that this track has travelled all the way from the days of 2 inch 24 multi tracks to reel-to-reel tape, questionable hairstyles remain, and photocopied gig posters to find its way onto the internet.
🎸 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨g. 🎹 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟎s 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠. 🧙 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. 📼 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞.
So long before streaming, social media, and mobile phones existed, now is your chance to visit the "𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐝".
🎧 Stream or download this remastered blast from the past completely free from the Gil Galad website:

𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲", our Tolkien-inspired track from Gil Galad's 1980s four-track E.P., recorded at the legendary 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲. Back then, recording involved actual tape, real knobs, mysterious flashing lights, and occasionally remembering what we'd played on the previous take...

The streets are safe. Trouble is rare. Order is maintained.
But at what cost?
"The Watchers" explores a society where security and surveillance walk hand in hand. As John Walker discovers this strange new world, he begins to question whether perfect order is truly freedom.

Track 13 from The John Walker Imaginarium – Time Shift arrives Thursday 17 Sept… and Whitby is absolutely not ready.
“Batten down and lock up! Storm coming!” a citizen who definitely saw this coming.

Armed only with his Emerald X10 and the kind of confidence normally reserved for people who’ve never actually heard Genesis, he announced he would be performing his own “interpretation” of Steve Hackett’s Horizons, allegedly from the Trespass album, which is news to Genesis, Steve Hackett, and several confused archivists.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲.
Nev tried to stop him by waving a copy of Foxtrot in the air like a warning flag.
Kev attempted diplomacy, explaining that Hackett’s original was a delicate, emotional masterpiece.
Trevor the Clown, meanwhile, turned up uninvited with a kazoo and declared himself “Paul’s spiritual road manager”.
𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
He sat down, tuned the X10 with the solemnity of a man preparing for battle, and began playing what can only be described as Horizons… but from a parallel universe where gravity is optional and time signatures are chosen by lottery.
Trevor wept.
Nev left the room.
Kev started Googling “How to legally disown a bandmate”.
Rick asked for it to be posted to the YouTube channel replacing the current record of lowest views! www.youtube.com/@GilGalad-p7y
And yet, somehow, it was beautiful.
Or at least… memorable.
Viewer discretion advised. Trevor will be in the comments section providing “emotional support”.

Paul’s Tuesday Doodle on the Emerald X10, the guitar that somehow makes even his mistakes sound intentional.
Recorded a little riff on a Tuesday a time ago! nothing fancy, just the usual blend of “that was nice” and “what on earth was that?” But hey, that’s the joy of a Tuesday Doodle, making it up as you go along.

Dive into the chaos: John Walker vs. time itself, Watchers with attitude, storms that definitely aren’t “just weather,” and a Traveller who knows everything but explains nothing.

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝟏𝟎 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞 — 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐘𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲
Tonight, 7pm.
“And we danced on the brink of an unknown future, to an echo from a vanished past.” - John Wyndham
John Walker just wants to get home.
Back to the familiar.
Back to Hai‑Yun.
But everything has slipped out of reach — and tonight’s track captures that moment when hope feels like it’s fading.

“𝐀 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤” (𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨)
‘I last saw her on the outskirts of Durham…
How she danced on those silken, silver threads I will never know.
She was elegance and strength, and light as floating feathers…’
John Walker, remembering Hai‑Yun
𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐦 – 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭, A Chance to Speak is the moment where John’s world cracks open. Hai‑Yun wasn’t just a guide through the mysterious Records of the Unworldly and the Strange, she became the one person who made him believe he wasn’t destined to walk life alone.
And then… she was gone.
Taken from him, along with everything familiar, leaving him lost between worlds and desperate to find his way home.
This video captures that emotional fracture — the longing, the hope, and the quiet devastation at the heart of John’s journey.
