Vocals, Keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, other things, songwriter, actor. Phil may not know more than 3 chords but he sure knows how to have a good time. Not one to be seen standing still for long, if ever, over the years he has done support slots with a who’s who of rock royalty, from Elvis Costello and Duran Duran to Steve Earle and Midnight Oil, among others. He has performed live on stage with a host of artists ranging from members of the Whitney Houston Band and Status Quo to Stevie Wright and Normie Rowe. He has appeared on over 30 albums and his songs have attracted the attention of artists such as Wreckless Eric and Howard Jones. He has appeared on national television a number of times, been listed in 11 books, and has received the Australia Day Award for achievement in music. Based mostly in Perth, his bands have included the Jack Daniels Band, the Helicopters, Resistants, Love bites, Pillbox, and Norgay Tension. He is also an accomplished actor and has worked alongside the likes of Toni Colette, Essie Davis and Angourie Rice. His latest release is A Day Like Any Other, a compilation album of sorts from cassette recordings over the decades. He is currently working on a brand new album, Bring Back The Mammoth, which should be a cracker.
