About me: Giles King is one of the country’s top blues harmonica players. Currently forming his own band, ‘The Magic Dragons’ and still playing and recording with ‘Lightnin’ Willie and the Poorboys’ and Hokie Joint amongst others, he began his career when he joined the jam at the Weavers Arms in London. Playing with the likes of Sam Hare, Ian Siegal, Matt Schofield and Earl Green, he was spotted by LA resident Lightnin’ Willie and was asked to join him on his UK tour. The partnership has continued for almost a decade and has resulted in headline gigs at the Stanley Blues Festival, Colne Blues Festival and many others. Giles has had the privilege to fly out to Hollywood to play at BB King’s legendary Blues Club and recently travelled to LA to record their new album, ‘Tracks’.
As a member of Hucklebuck, Giles was seen regularly at the Ain’t Nothing But… in London as well as on tour and around the country. He has recorded and guested with many leading artists including Ian Siegal, Mick Abrahams and Jon Amor, and as featured on Johnny Walker’s drive time show, Paul Jones Blues programme and many radio stations across America.
Giles was described as ‘one of our own’ and ‘beautifully dirty’ by Char Ham of LA magazine Southland Blues. Blues In Britain Magazine said, ‘What this guy doesn’t know about puff, isn’t worth knowing’ and Ian Siegal recently introduced him as a guest at the 100 club as the most soulful harmonica player in the country.
