From 1976 to 1978, Gil played bass for the Birmingham based The Killjoys.
The Killjoys were a punk rock/new wave band from Birmingham, England, formed in 1976, with members including Kevin Rowland and Al Archer, who would later form Dexys Midnight Runners, and Ghislaine 'Gil' Weston who would later join Girlschool. Although their releases while still together were limited to one single, subsequent interest has seen an album of their recordings released.
Out of Nowhere was the band formed by Gil after the beakup of The Killjoys. She formed the band with Mark Philips and Bob Peach, the band name later changing to Alternating, and then Luxound Deluxe.
Gil joined Girlschool as bassist to replace Enid Williams after their tour of Japan in 1982. She stayed with Girlschool for five years, recording the Screaming Blue Murder, Play Dirty, Running Wild and Nightmare At Maple Cross albums.
She left Girlschool in 1987 to marry (to become Ghislaine Weston-Jones) and to take up a career in engineering and the NHS.
