Giles, Giles and Fripp were a quirky late
sixties band featuring brothers Michael Giles on drums, Peter
Giles on bass guitar, and rounded out by Robert
Fripp on guitar.
They released only one album, The
Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp in 1968 by Deram
Records.
In 2002
a second release came out, The Brondesbury Tapes,
featuring various recordings throughout 1968, with the group augmented by Ian McDonald on saxophone
and flute,
and Judy
Dyble on vocals.
Michael Giles, Fripp and McDonald went on to form the first King
Crimson line-up, rounded out by bassist/vocalist Greg
Lake and lyricist Peter Sinfield. Peter Giles
would go on to appear on the second Crimson album In the Wake of Poseidon in 1970, and more
recently joined with 21st Century Schizoid Band.
Judy Dyble came from Fairport Convention and would go
on to join Trader Horne.
