About Me

Jim Gipson

Jim started 2008 with a live Radio 2 session on Dermots Saturday show and then kicked the year off with a support tour with Richard Hawley. In April 08, he briefly joined up with fellow musicians, Runaway Sons, and they aired Jims songs electrically, opening V Festival and playing supports to Sam Sparro, Feeder & MGMT.
Jim is currently writing his ass off and is due to release a new EP mid February 09, after which he will be back on the road....on his own? Or with a band? Or with a robot and some dancers? Who knows?!?!
