“I like that a lot” – Steve Wright, BBC Radio 2

“Glistening pop music with delightful harmonies” – Jim Gellatly, Amazing Radio

“Future Gold…like that one a lot” – Tony Blackburn, BBC Radio

“The simple fact is that The Eves are a mainstream act that, as yet, are still on the margins” – Teddy Jamieson, The Herald

Scottish pop duo ‘The Eves’ are Caroline Gilmour and Marissa Keltie. Previously solo artists, their explosion onto the music scene as a combined force in 2018 has established them as one of the UK’s most promising and exciting song-writing duos with their stand-out brand of uplifting, melodic pop.

Recent single releases ‘Big Love’ (2022) and ‘Brand New Day’ (2021) commanded attention from mainstream national radio stations, with both tracks making appearances on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland. The tracks have also featured heavily on regional and online playlists across the UK and Ireland.  Big Love was the pair’s first release as a co-write, written with Jim Duguid (Paolo Nutini) and producer Lewis Gardiner (Ellie Goulding, Nick Jonas).  It has now been officially adopted as the anthem for Scottish Women’s Football for the 2022/2023 League Season and was featured on BBC Scotland’s most popular football show ‘Off the Ball’ with Tam Cowan and Stuart Cosgrove.

The anthemic Brand New Day spent a stunning 5 weeks on the BBC Radio 2 playlist.  After starting out as ‘New to 2” on Ken Bruce, the track made it onto the C list, before being promoted to the B list, racking up numerous plays by OJ Borg, The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Claudia Winkelman, Steve Wright, Ken Bruce, and Rylan on Saturday,

The track was also made ‘Single of the Week’ on BBC Radio Scotland, reached No. 6 and No. 15 in the iTunes pop charts and iTunes main download chart respectively, charted in the Amazon ‘New Hot Releases’ UK Chart, and made an impressive debut in the UK Official Charts Company download and single charts in the top 65.  Bauer Media’s Forth 1 also gave the track a spin and interviewed the pair.  The icing on the cake was a deal with top UK Sync agency A&G Songs, who placed the track on an episode of ‘The Kardashians’ on Hulu and Disney Plus, airing in November 2022.

In terms of live performances, 2022 was their busiest and most successful year yet.  The duo opened for award-winning Scottish band Skerryvore throughout November and December on their tour of the UK.  Prior to this, the pair opened for Belinda Carlisle’s sold-out show at Glasgow’s prestigious Kelvingrove Bandstand, and toured with Scottish singer Horse, opening for her on most of her shows on her UK-wide tour.  They were also invited to perform at The Forth Awards in Edinburgh last summer where they played alongside acts such as Wet Wet Wet, Tony Hadley and Heather Small.

Other notable past performances include a live session on BBC Scotland’s ‘The Quay Sessions with Roddy Hart’, opening for The Shires, TRNSMT Festival, King Tuts Summer Nights, Country to Country at the OVO Hydro, Tiree Music Festival, Capers in Cannich, and Vibration Festival.  The duo has also made TV appearances on BBC Scotland’s ‘The Edit’.

During Covid lockdowns, the pair worked remotely with producer Lewis Gardiner to create a new portfolio of work, writing, recording, and producing 11 new songs.  The single 'Love Will Find You' was released in August 2020, followed by the singles ‘Brand New Day’, ‘Legal High’, and ‘Not A Love Song’ in 2021.

Select online performances in 2020 included being invited by Levi’s to perform across their socials to 26 million followers for their 5:01 Live ‘Stay Home, Stay Connected’ campaign, as well as a live set for Amazing Radio and drinks company Bodega Bay.

This is no mean feat for an unsigned, self-managed and self-funded act, making incredible progress from when they started out in 2018 releasing debut single ‘Tides’ (produced by Mark Morrow) to hugely positive reviews

As a solo artist, Caroline achieved a UK No.1 with her self-penned and self-released EP ‘Electric Waterfalls’ in 2016. It made the top spot in the UK Official Charts Company Vinyl Singles Chart on Record Store Day that year. It also reached No.2 in the UK Official Charts Physical Singles Chart.  She is also co-presenter of music podcast The CAKE Show with Hampden stadium DJ Keith Easton.

Marissa is a multi-instrumentalist and composer, achieving a No.1 single in the iTunes Classical Music chart in 2022 with her piano composition ‘River and Reign’. She is also an established voiceover artist and commercial model. Her voiceover clients include Universal Music Group, critically acclaimed commercial director Ruben Latre, Johnnie Walker Whisky and The Scottish Government. Working for the world-renowned Model Team agency, she has appeared in many campaigns for clients including Bentley, Tennent’s Lager, British Airways, Scottish Opera, and Heineken.

In the charity sector, Caroline is Patron of the 6VT Edinburgh City Youth Cafe - a charity specialising in providing support to young people from all walks of life. Marissa also assists the charity with running music workshops.

The duo also set up and run the U.K side of dog rescue organisation Pico’s Pack - raising awareness and funds to care for abandoned and abused dogs in Serbia.

Next performance: 11th Feb at BT Murrayfield fan village, Guinness Six Nations for Scotland versus Wales.
