Performance

Flip Top Head (Drums, 2021-)

Formed in 2021, Flip Top Head are a six-piece art rock band from Brighton."Bewitchingly melancholic, Flip Top Head present a chimera of scintillating, poetic grit and haunting vocals into post-rock soundscapes. The six piece are laying down a marker on the alternative scene for effortlessly fusing emphatic, cult-like live performances with layers of harmony and experimental instrumentation. Brighton-based, it is in a galvanic local live scene that Flip Top Head have flourished; seeing them share stages with fellow high-risers Deadletter, Opus Kink, Honeyglaze and The New Eves. their single 'Alfred Street' has amassed 26k streams and featured on Deb Grant's BBC Radio 6 show.The band have toured the UK, ireland, and embarked on a tour across holland and neighbouring locations, including Left of the Dial 2024 in Rotterdam. Their debut ep 'Up Like A Weather Balloon', produced by Theo Verney (English Teacher, Lime Garden) releases November 15th on limited edition vinyl and streaming services via Blitzcat Records.Hauntingly unpredictable and refreshing, Flip Top Head are Bowie Bartlett, Bertie Beer, Marie Freiss, Harry Giles, Harrison Spooner and Ollie White."

Paris Blue (Drums, 2022-)

Paris Blue are a four-piece dance-infused post-punk band from Hastings, formed in 2021."A post-punk band with a tragic and cinematic approach, focusing on angularly danceable instrumentation and lyrics revolving around introspection. the band have supported the likes of Kid Kapichi and the enemy, and have released their new single 'Honestly' to positive responses from the likes of Clash Music and Earmilk.Paris Blue are
Leo Nakamura-Wear (vocals/guitar), Joe Stephen (backing vocals/guitar/synth), Riley McCarthy (bass), and Harry Giles (drums).

About

Harry Giles is a session drummer and recent sound production graduate with extensive drumming performance experience.

For almost a decade since I was a teenager, I've had a consistent passion for drumming and I consider it a serious endeavour.I've worked incredibly hard to have played shows with various bands over the years at prestigious venues (De La Warr, Windmill Brixton, dust, and Patterns) - supporting successful acts (Opus Kink, Kid Kapichi, and Honeyglaze).I've also worked as a session drummer in professional studios (RAK, Brighton Electric, Salvation).I'm always looking for any work involved in drum tech, session drumming, and sound engineering.
