About GILES
Trio led by Dutch guitarist and vocalist Mark Koehorst producing 'blues-infused funk' with emphasis on good grooves, good songs and fine guitarwork. GILES is the project of Dutch multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mark Koehorst. Founded in 2002, GILES are making a big impression on the live music scene, both in the UK and abroad. To date, they have supported Eric Burdon and the Animals, Dr Feelgood, Robert Sherman, The Blockheads and the Blues Band amongst others and they have appeared at most of the major blues festivals in the UK.
Apart from Mark’s own songs, they bring new life to a whole range of classic songs, from their dark and haunting version of Move, to a very funky Stop Breaking Down, sung and played with great passion and finesse. Mark’s own songs include The Chase, Lost A Friend, and So Much Pain. Their debut CD ‘Coming Home’ was very well received by fans and critics alike as a worthwhile contribution to the blues. Their second CD ‘blood from a stone’ was released in February 2004 and they have just released their third album in January 2005.
Their albums are released on their own label and they are available through a number of distributors such as (expired link) and also via their website.
