The Fingertips debut album in 2003 achieved first place on radio airplay charts with the single “Melancholic Ballad”. This was followed up with two more releases (2006 & 2007) which saw the band repeating their success with top radio airplay once again.
The band has a loyal fan base and has supported Nelly Furtado, Queen, George Michael, The Corrs and others.
