Galliano

Galliano were a London-based acid jazz group, which started in 1988. The group was the first signing to Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud label. The original members were Rob Gallagher (vocals), Constantine Weir (vocals), Michael Snaith (The Show Man), and Crispin Robinson (percussion). Other important members included Valerie Etienne, who participated in the recording of all their CDs, along with other musicians such as Mick Talbot on keyboards, Crispin Taylor on drums and Ernie McKone on bass guitar.

Galliano achieved the peak of their success in 1994 with The Plot Thickens.

Frontman Rob Gallagher continued to perform (as of 2006) as Earl Zinger.

Galliano provided the track used in the title sequence of the 1997 Samuel L Jackson film One Eight Seven. The track "Slack Hands" appears on their 1996 album 4.

In the late 1990s, Gallagher broke Galliano up, and pursued his latest musical project, 2 Banks of 4.
