Phil is a solo singer/songwriter from Derbyshire. Not your typical shoegazing, acoustic guitar wielding bloke, his songs are quirky takes on real life, blown up out of all proportion - complete stories built around the minutiae of every day, that are anything but 'everyday'.
He is inspired in equal parts by cult songwriters such as Richard Thomspon and Billy Bragg and punk icons like John Otway and Wreckless Eric, making his songs immediate yet memorable, raw yet polished.
He has gigged around London and the Midlands as a headline act and as a support to established artists such as John Otway, Danbert Nobacon, Leon Rosselson and Ed Tudor-Pole amongst others. He has released several CDs, and in 2004 he had a number 2 hit single with the band 4-4-2, appearing on both CD:UK and Top of the Pops.
Phil has mastered the art of writing a glorious and memorable pop song

A mild-mannered cousin to understated poets of everyday Englishness like Squeeze, Billy Bragg, Victoria Wood and John Otway, he writes winsome, charming songs

Please be informed that G. Wood/Undercover Bonobos have posted a new song entitled "Seeds" on their Myspace music player. We strongly advise that you review this material carefully. Your commentary is welcomed.
Analysis: We have been informed that this song sounds like a Communist Collective work song. We are further advised that it may be misconstrued as a treatise on the cultivation of illegal herbage. We are cautioned that some listeners may experience a shift in psychological set and setting during the "psychedelic" interlude. Please report any activity of this nature forthwith.
This song may be intended and interpreted as a tribute to the late, great, Sky Saxon.
We gratefully anticipate your thoughts on this matter.
