Angus Gill: "The Gilly Season" / "Don't Get Your Tinsel In A Tangle"

Golden Guitar winners, Angus Gill and Melinda Schneider, have teamed up to bring some sparkle, joy and all round good fun to your Christmas!

“Don’t Get Your Tinsel In A Tangle” is taken from Angus’ brand new Christmas EP, “The Gilly Season”, and proves yet again that there is nothing this young talent can’t do!

Co-written by Angus and frequent collaborators, Bill DiLuigi and Kirsti Manna, “Don’t Get Your Tinsel In A Tangle”, is slightly edgy, quirky and off the wall.

“We originally wrote it as a male/female duet and the first person I had in mind to do it with was Melinda. I’ve always been a fan of her work, her songs and incredible voice. I was thrilled when she agreed to sing it with me”, says Angus.

“When Angus reached out to me a couple of months ago and sent me the song, I fell in love with it on first listen! It is the catchiest tune and cutest lyric and makes you feel good”, says Melinda.

It’s no secret the pair had a ball recording the song, that is evident from the opening moments. Angus who is a past ARIA nominee for his comedy work, showcases his humorous songwriting flair on “Don’t Get Your Tinsel in A Tangle”.

The EP, “The Gilly Season”, perfectly captures the gamut of emotions that can accompany Christmas – the joy, the crazy fun and of course, heartbreak.

“I decided to write The Gilly Season as I love Christmas music, but I haven’t heard a lot of original Christmas songs lately. It was a great creative challenge to come up with these songs and by tapping into my own Christmas experiences, I think we were able to find fresh ideas”, says Angus.

Once again Gill has assembled an A-team of musicians including Stuie French (Guitars), Jeff Taylor & Russell Dick (Piano), Michel Rose (Pedal Steel), Glenn Wilson (Drums), Jeff McCormack (Bass), TC Cassidy and Templeton Thompson (Backing Vocals) and Pixie Jenkins provided character voices.

“I love the stuff Angus is putting out there, he is a wonderful songwriter and true creative spirit. His voice is pure and his energy is electric”, added Melinda.
