I play most often with SCOTT HAMMOND drums, DAVE JOHNSTON, Bass, KATE ROBEY cello, JAMES FORSTER Guitar, and JONNY HENDERSON, Organ, but often take to the stage with other members of Bristols wonderful musical family.
Influences
All the great musicians I play with and listen to in and around Bristol. And a few other people that made some records.....
Sounds Like
"Absolutely BRILLIANT!"- Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
"Sensitive, heart on sleeve songs.....this is a very good debut, whose best tunes create a suitably intimate and melancholy mood enhanced by laid-back acoustic picking and subtle swells of Hammond Organ."- The Independent
"Supremely talented Bristol-based singer, Phil King. He has a voice to die for." - TimeOut, London
Hi. Welcome to my space. I have been gigging around for about 5yrs now. Highlights include playing at the Jazz Cafe in London, Glastonbury Festival 2005, 2007 and 2008, Trowbridge Festival 2005 and 2008, Ashton Court Festival 2006, Priddy Folk Fest 2007, Guilfest 2008, and 2 weeks gigging with Backyard in Thailand! I have also been lucky enough to play support slots for Kate Walsh, Jon Allen, Foy Vance, Emmy the Great, Karima Francis, Tina Dico, Ruby Turner, Chris Farlowe and Amp Fiddler, and to share the stage with many amazing artists including Alice Russell and Beth Rowley! My music has been played by Bob Harris, Steve Lamacq and Alex Lester on BBC radio 2. It is available to download on itunes or mail order at www.phil-king.net.
I play classical guitar too, and acheived a distinction at grade 7. If anyone is looking for a guitar teacher, I am always interested.
Also check out these other bands that I sing with around the UK.
RnB Band BACKYARD, (www.backyard.uk.com)
And Blues/Soul Act, THE FORSTER-KING BAND (www.forsterkingband.co.uk)
I wrote a tune with Bristol band Unforscene called "Dangerous" which appears on their recent album "Fingers and Thumbs". This is also available on itunes. I will be performing it with them this summer at Bestival on the Isle of Wight.
I also compose a bit. I have written music for live dance performance for choreographer Laila Diallo which has been shown in Bristol, London, Cardiff, Swindon and in Europe and Canada. I have had some music on a TV series in feb 2006, on ITV. If anyone is interested in more info, please contact me.
Peace
