Phil is from the south of England, where he honed his split personality playing electric guitar in pub bands and acoustic in folk clubs in the Brighton area. He later left a trail of broken strings in London, Leeds and Hull, whilst developing a knack of playing with people who would one day be famous, but not while he was around.

Now resident in Nottingham, Phil has been performing his songs for the past five years with guitarist and banjo-tamer, Steve Benford. Just lately they seem to have formed a band with Mark Walker on bass and Frank McCarthy on electric guitar. They are often joined by saxophonist Pippa Marland of Carmina. They sing the poignant lyrics of Langran. They play his plangent airs. Tears well up in the eyes of audience and performers alike.
