Ian Giles
voc, perc, GB
Singer of Folk
British folk vocalist. Ian is lead singer and frontman for Magpie Lane. His voice is amongst the finest on the folk scene: warm and mellow, but with great power when required. A veteran of many folk club gigs and pub sessions, Ian is equally at home with a lyrical ballad, or leading a lusty chorus song. On the instrumental front, he adds tabor, side drum, tambourine, bodhran and, on occasion, hurdy-gurdy.
