About the Band

Since his first public gig at the age of thirteen, Giles' reputation as a talented and reliable performer has gone from strength to strength overshadowing many of his counterparts.

Now 26 and a respected session musician, pianist and vocalist, Giles' flexibility of styles has resulted in him being recognised in a number of guises. From solo performances in cocktail piano bars aboard some of the worlds largest cruise ships and tours with tribute and pop acts around Europe to featuring on a variety of radio and television recordings, one thing is for sure: professionalism talent and pure entertainment is what his reputation has been built upon.

Aside from the, often hectic, touring schedules and constant recording, Giles' has already performed at 67 weddings and 83 corporate/private events in 2005/06 alone! Whether an F1 racing celebration at Silverstone, New Years celebrations in the Algarve, a renewing of wedding nuptials in La Manga; Spain or a silent film festival in the south of France no venue is too far (or too bizarre) for Giles to perform.

Additionally, over the past thirteen years he has had the honour of working with such pop artists as Gabrielle, Rick Wakeman, The Moody Blues and Kenny Lynch. Furthermore he has backed acts such as Richard O' Brien, Sir Jimmy Tarbuck, Dennis Waterman, Hale and Pace, Jasper Carrott, and has performed for HRH The Prince of Wales, David Coulthard and Chris Eubank to mention just a few celebrity figures.

Fully self-contained, Giles has a variety of keyboards and PA systems to suit any venue should an in-house set-up not be available. Furthermore should you deem it aesthetically necessary to have a grand piano at the venue yet are worried about the realistic possibility of such a venture, Giles will negotiate hire and transportation costs of any extra equipment required giving you one less thing to worry about when organising your party.

If when planning your private function or corporate event you feel that you require something more varied such as a 5-piece live band for late night dancing or a light jazz combo for that 'suave' feel during dinner then this can easily be accommodated.

The Giles Tingey Trio performs as a three-piece instrumental or vocal-led jazz band dependant on the clients preferred needs. Entertaining with a variety of swing and jazz favourites with the occasional soul classic thrown in for good measure the Giles Tingey Trio performs smooth hits from Harry Connick Junior through to Frank Sinatra to name but a few.

For the full-blown party atmosphere Giles' function band 'The Right Thing' are also available for hire. All the favourites from the early rock and roll days through to modern upbeat classics are performed to an ever-satisfied audience. The perfect band for those late night carefree celebrations.
