Why a website?




In this day and age where deals don't exist and there are no longer any official charts as there used to be, one has to promote oneself. This is where you will be able to check what Phil (Pip) is doing in a proactive creative sense, as an artist.

Personal

Still living in the Midlands with Dawn, we both met in 1977.Though these days we spend a lot of time in Northern France, retreating to quieter creative surroundings.


Influences

Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, Beatles, Ralph Mctell, Roger Cook, James Taylor, Don Mclean and many more, but these were my early root leaders in lyric and song structure. These days I like a mixed genre from latin, classical, gospel to name but a few.


Technique

Claw hammer guitar style, de tuning methods inspired Pip in younger years through listening to blues players and various folk/country and flemenco players.
