The worlds finest Pentecostal Charismatic Christian. Fact.

Piney Gir lives in London, England but grew up in Kansas City USA in a Pentecostal Christian household. During her childhood Piney developed a vivid and playful imagination while receiving a formal education in music, untouched by the temptations of sinful secular pop. In her late teens Piney broke from the past and discovered the music of the masses with huge delight and a completely personal perspective. This unique mixture of experience has shaped and defined her music.

Piney’s rich, beautiful vocals are as refined and smooth as a roll of silk but can give way at any time to frenzied yelps of discontent. Her sound is often fractured and mysterious but always touched by a sly sense of fun.

Piney Gir (aka Angela Penhaligon) is an enchantress, virtuoso and extraordinary new talent. Live she is an audiovisual delight with a wardrobe of wonder displaying a talent born to outshine the spotlight directed at her.

She is also a former member of Vic 20 & The Zoltan Kodaly School For Girls as well as currently being a full time member of the superb Schla La Las!
