Band to Join.ABOUT
Many thanks for visiting my profile. At the time of this update in January 2025 I am playing regularly in one 'permanent' band and occasionally playing in a couple of others. I am always open to interesting music projects so feel free to contact me.
In terms of what I've done music-wise, I started out playing jazz at school at a time when the Beatles were still together as a band - you can do the maths ! I played for about ten years in total all around Liverpool, my home town, and then all around Nottingham, my college town.
Coming down to the West Country in the 90s, most notably I played for the best part of a decade with the Devon-based seven-piece Dire Straits tribute - 'Dire Traits'. This band played all over the South of England as well as making a couple of forays over to festivals in France and Holland.
Since then I've engaged in various other musical projects including the Cullompton-based 'Slow Burn Blues Band', the Torquay-based all-originals band, 'Crow Road' and the Dartmoor-based ceilidh/folk-rock band, 'Banned From The Moor'.
If you've read this profile so far, thanks for your interest !
All the best and Keep Music Live ! Cheers, Phil
