Dana Gillespie?s incredible 60 year career is a star-studded musical adventure. In the 1960s she was a folk-pop troubadour signed to Decca Records, rubbing shoulders with Dylan and the Beatles. In the 1970s she collaborated with the likes of Rick Wakeman and David Bowie, with Bowie writing her hit song ?Andy Warhol?, and producing her 1973 album ?Weren?t Born a Man? (RCA Records). Through the 1980s, while signed to Ace Records, she began to establish herself as the queen of the blues that she is today, writing and recording
prolifically. With a remarkable back catalogue of music and wealth of tales from the golden age of music, she continues to charm and enthral audiences across the world.
Her creativity and passion show no signs of relenting. Within just the last five years alone she has released her autobiography to great acclaim from The Times, The Spectator and The Daily Mail, released a new studio album (Deep Pockets on Ace Records), and recorded a new live album (Live at TAM). All the while she has continued to perform across the UK, Europe and South East Asia, also travelling to Texas to play at the famous SXSW festival in 2023, and selling out two nights downstairs at Ronnie Scotts. In 2024 she released ?First Love? a collaborative album with Mark Almond (Soft Cell).
"It's an index of Gillespie's empathy with her material that the originals blend so seamlessly with the classic covers... that's no mean achievement...[she] literally beats the pants off
anything done by a British bluesman these last 10 years."
Charles Shaar Murray
Green Note was founded by two friends and passionate music lovers who wanted to create their ideal place to hang out in London...
Our dream was to create a place where we could share music that we loved – somewhere with a laid back, intimate and friendly atmosphere. Becoming friends in our school days, the seed for our idea was planted many years ago. After lots of hard work, many ups and downs, and learning more than we ever could have imagined along the way, our dream became a reality when Green Note opened its doors in the Summer of 2005. Now in our fourteenth year, we have established a reputation as one of London’s best spots for roots, world and acoustic music, and we’re constantly astonished by the wealth of incredible musicians who grace our stage. We’re really proud of what we have created, and happy to be able to share it with you.
