A jazz, gypsy punk, rock n’ roll, surf fusion thatfeels like an Italian car chase in the roaring 20s.
The Great Pleasure began with Marc Molloy and Gillian Christie, writing songs and travelling the world, getting caught up in all sorts of mischief. Run-ins with the Thai mafia in Bangkok, Hell’s angels in the Netherlands and finding themselves in the middle of dreamy
performances in Interscope records private club on Sunset boulevard, Los Angeles, made an alchemic source of inspiration for a pair of excitement-seeking songwriters.
The Great Pleasure are Gillian Christie and Marc Molloy backed by a monster supergroup of Scottish talent: Christopher Dickie (Glasvegas, illi) on drums, Norman Villeroux (Azamiah, Pippa Blundell) on bass and Timmy Allan (Awkward
Family Portraits, BBC Radio Scotland Young Jazz Musician of the year) on guitar. Backing vocals from Alex Hynes (Quick),
Tom McGuire (Tom McGuire and the Brassholes), Charlotte Marshall (Charlotte Marshall & The 45s), Olivia Jane (Holy Ghost Town)
and Brass from the Harry Weir trio (Corto.Alto, Kai Reesu).
With a slew of sold out headline shows behind them, theirs is one of the hottest anticipated albums due out 2026.
