An exciting new music project has been born after a reunion between former members of Scots group, The Silencers. It has resulted in the powerfully emotive debut album ‘Time’.

JJ Gilmour and Joe Donnelly enjoyed great success and critical acclaim during their individual stints with the band and toured with music greats such as Simple Minds, David Bowie, U2 and The Pretenders.

Despite not playing in The Silencers at the same time, Joe and JJ bonded immediately during an emotional week in Glasgow as all the ex-Silencers got together to play a sell-out gig in aid of much loved guitarist, Cha Burns who was gravely ill at the time. Sadly, Cha passed away soon afterwards.

During that week in Glasgow JJ and Joe struck up a firm friendship and realised they had a lot in common musically. They both decided to start working on demos of new songs in Ireland were JJ was staying at that time. The work went well and when JJ moved back to Scotland they continued working on new songs.

It was at this time that Joe met with Touraj Moghaddam an old family friend and owner of Vertere Acoustics a real high end turntable company.

Touraj was a huge Silencers fan and enquired if Joe was still writing songs, Joe explained what JJ and he had been working on. Touraj asked if he could hear the new songs. Joe passed them on and he loved the new material. It was at this time that Touraj was thinking of starting a new record label within his company, he asked Joe & JJ to be the first artists signed to the label, and of course Joe & JJ were happy to accept his offer.

Touraj took the songs to his friend Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios who had just half speed mastered The Rolling stones, Exile on Main St, and New Gold Dream by Simple Minds.

Miles couldn’t believe the coincidence as he had mastered a Silencers 12? Single called Scottish Rain as a young engineer, and was a fan. So with Touraj and Miles on board the band went in to record their first album with Producer Stuart MacLeod at Beetroot Studios in Scotland. The end result is Caezar’s debut album called Time.

Joe and JJ seized the opportunity and decided to start writing together in memory of their dear friend. The result of this creative collaboration is the new band, Caezar, an album of powerfully emotive material.
