Hope the tracks speak for themselves. Influences include: Gordon Lightfoot (probably wouldn't have learned to play the guitar if it wasn't for his songs.), The Corries, Charlie Dore, The Mariners, Peter Green, John Denver, Nick Drake, Andy Irvine, Paul Brady, Midge Ure, Devo, Bryan Ferry, Jeff Lynne, Guinness, J J Cale, Lightning Hopkins, Wentworth Oatmeal Stout, Gravity, Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues, Jake Thackrey, Erik Satie, Acoustic Blues and so much else. Basically, a good song is a good song!

PHILLIP HARTLEY SINGS VOTE FOR ME
My Town Live At The Harlequin
I am a Singer/Songwriter from Sheffield, England. Instrumentally I mainly play acoustic (6 & 12 String) guitar, although I also play Mandola, Mandolin, Keyboards (a bit) and percussion. I have been around the Folk Scene in Sheffield since the early 1990's having been the Lead Vocalist/Guitarist/Mandola/Mandolin player in the trio "Hair Of The Dog" for about 12 years. I left the band in 2006, wishing to change direction musically having grown tired of playing the same, mainly Irish songs. After taking a break from the scene I am now out and playing again, as a solo performer. I now write my own material and will be changing and adding songs on this page as and when I have something new for you to listen to, so keep coming back to check. If you like what you hear tell all your friends. If you don't, then, for heaven's sake, keep you gobs shut! (ha ha)
In 2008 I completed my first album of original songs; "Words And Music" you can order or download it from this link: http://cdbaby.com/cd/philliphartley or it is also available via i-tunes and Amazon MP3. 2009 saw the release of my second album; "The Game" which is also available from iTunes etc. Many more tracks can be found at my page on Reverbnation.
My new album "The Game" is now on iTunes and can be purchased here:
