Music
Colin “illy” Hill is one of Phuket’s most versatile and professional musicians offering a wide variety of musical styles from acoustic, soft dinner music, to full on hard rock and everything in between in many different formats* from solo, duo, 3 – 6 piece event band in both acoustic and electric formats using the best international and local musicians for those requiring a more mature musical experience than the usual available in Phuket.
Performing a mixture of blues/jazz, classic rock, easy listening, country rock, M.O.R. and even dinner music/background styles, Colin is one of the ONLY legal and professional “western musicians” working in Phuket.
Colin also performs with lead vocalist / multi instrumentalist Luisa Scarpa offering a unique blend of soulful music crossed with a more aggressive rock style that is a combination that has to be heard to be believed, and which proves very popular with audiences in every situation. The added aural beauty of three part vocal harmonies is the icing on the cake!
The stand alone “Colin illy Hill Band” and / or “The Colin illy Hill Band featuring Luisa Scarpa is not a regular ‘cover band’ in that they do not just copy a song like a karaoke band but perform unique versions of popular classic songs and some forgotten musical gems.
For those wanting a more full on “party only’ band Colin also performs with Gig’s Rockit! featuring Gig Warunee one of Phuket’s best female vocalists and a finalist in Thailand’s Got Talent Show in 2015.
