Smoke Network (US) – presenter Eddie Russell “The
new CD ' Blue Funk ' by Giles brings out all the big guns of raw energy and
unison movement of Blues fusion with a seamless bond that never loses
acceleration from the first note to the last. Well beyond the ordinary with
lots of margin for the unexpected, 'Blue Funk' entertains & sticks to the
ears with an original sound like none other you'll ever hear. A + 5 *****'s”
– Presenter Eddie Russell The Billy Butler Show on BBC Radio
Merseyside (UK) “He
sounds very sexy” Funky
Broadway Radio – presenter Grayland ‘Geedawg’ Hooks “What's Up Mark! I got your CD this weekend!
Congratulations on such a fine job! Your band Giles deserve lots of
major label recognition! Great work! I love hearing the tracks, "The
Chase", "So Much Pain" , "Clyde" over
and over. Your branded style of music
is very creative. Your mixture of smooth funk/ r&b with some rough-edged
electric blues has a great balance and pleasing to the ears. When I hear you
guys, some of the artists that comes to my mind are Santana and Robert Cray,
especially when I hear "The Chase" and "Clyde". Are you
sure you're just an indie group? (smile) I can tell this project was a labour
of love. You guys must have worked very hard with this. Very
well experienced and polished performance. You guys should be
commended! In a way, I feel like I bought the CD at a record store. Very
professional work, indeed! As you know, my station FUNKY
BROADWAY RADIO is a classic soul/ oldies/ funk format. However, I was
condsidering a show for R&B indie artist as well. I've been so great
fully overwhelmed by artists who want to hear their music on my little
station. I'm very thankful for this. I hope I'll have my indie show
ready in a couple of weeks. Your group is definitely on the lists.
I have a spot for you on my
"Sunday Smooth Grooves" show this Sunday. I play smooth R&B
from artists yesterday and today. The two hour show starts at 8
p.m. (EST) 5 p.m. (PST). Hope that's not too late for you, being in
Europe and all. (smile) I cannot be too specific on what time the song will
be played due to my network's policies, but I promise I'll play one of your tracks on this
show. You went out of your way to give me this CD, and I appreciate this a
whole lot. Once again, thank you for the CD.
I'll keep you in touch about my indie show. See ya! Grayland "Geedawg" Hooks DJ/ Program Director FUNKY BROADWAY RADIO” La Hora Del
Blues (Spain) – presenter Vicente Zumel “Giles
are a band which really know what they want to do and how to do it and this
cd proves their great musical knowledge. They cleverly and tastefully mix different
styles and concepts like blues, funk, rock or jazz merging them with a bright
artistic good taste but over all with a very convincing strength. The result
is an effective cd that follows a very ‘fashion’ and ‘groove’ line. Singer
and guitar player Mark Koehorst leads the band and gives an amazing rich
quality that overflows the prospects you could imagine in any of the songs
included on the cd, either in his own compositions or in versions such as ‘CC
Rider’ performed with carefully well done arrangements. In short, an
interesting record. VERY GOOD.” Blue
Notes on BBC Radio Lancashire (UK) – presenter Nick
Dow Passion
Blues on CKOD FM103 (Canada) – presenter Benoit Fortier “Dancing

Connection.” – Presenter Brendan Dowd Lord
Litter’s Radioshow – ‘The John Peel of Germany’ “many
thanks for a supercool CD!!! RADIO
ARIA (France) “The cd is great, very good music
!!!” – Presenter Michael Ruer Tecka’s Tracks on HOTFM (Australia
106.7FM on CRN) “G'Day Mark. Highway 61
on Radio Voce Spazio 93.800 MHZ (Italy) “After
the golden age of the sixties, every now and then a new interesting band
emerges from the British music scene rediscovering the power of the blues but
giving it an original, appealing and contemporary dress: it happened in
the past to such glorious bands like Nine Below Zero, Dire Straits and
Five O'Clock Shadows, just to name a few, and now it's time for the Giles.
They approach to the blues matter is in fact not only fresh and exciting but
also highly individual. It will be a great pleasure to play music from
"Blue Funk" in my radio show here therefore!” – presenter Massimo
Ferro Blues

listening to the cuts of your new CD [Blue Funk]. have you been using a

Street on Radio Coteaux (France) – presenter César “I
think your CD is marvellous. I play a song from it in every show.” Roots
Around The World on Spirit FM (England) “One of the year's most refreshing
releases so far. Nicely packaged with a good balance of tracks which
suggest at first it's not a UK-based band and certainly not a trio, but, and
it's a big 'but' this is a band to watch out for if they can deliver onstage
what they can in the studio because they are a trio and they are based in the
UK - albeit with a talented Dutchman, Mark Koehorst, at the helm.” –
