Galliano is an iconic band in the acid jazz scene and the first group to sign with the pioneering label Talkin’ Loud. Formed in 1988 around acid house DJ Rob Gallagher, the band developed a laid-back, soulful jazz style, with a strong emphasis on live performances and environmental themes.

In its early years, Galliano took shape as an open collective, with Gallagher on raps and turntables, the warm vocals of Valerie Étienne (also known as Auntie Val), bassist Ernie McKone, drummer Crispin Taylor, and many other collaborators. Success came in 1994 with “The Plot Thickens”, an album that reached number eight on the UK charts.

After a 25-year hiatus, Galliano returned to the scene in the summer of 2024 with the new album “Halfway Somewhere”, which brings their classic and unmistakable style into the present. Valerie Étienne’s sublime voice weaves together with Rob Gallagher’s witty observations, filled with cultural references and memories from the early days of the UK club scene. These two charismatic artists lead Galliano’s new live show, an energetic and captivating experience.
