About Me

____________________________________________________________ ______
Hi!
First off, "Thanks for coming by.I really appreciate your visit and hope you like what you find here on my little nook of MySpace.I'm currently in Samoa and have been seeking out some the amazing sounds and musos this beautiful country has to offer. Shoot on over to HERE and have a peek at me jamming with one of the top local bands.Also, as some of you are already aware, I've just posted another 'TooN' here on MySpace
'THE NIGHT OF THE GALE'
Its a song I penned back in '84 and thought I may do something with one day, so better late than (n)ever. Hope you like it as much as I liked doing it.22 Years in the making from recording to release. Has to be the longest recording project in history. Please feel free to drop a critique as I am very interested to know what you think, good or bad. (After all, you are the ones that matter)........ P.R."I didn't fail 2000 times before I invented the light globe. I discovered 2000 ways how not to make one." Thomas A. Edison ____________________________________________________________ ______
Opening track, 'Deceitful Eyes' listed in the 30 Hot Picks at the
2006 PACIFIC SONGWRITING COMPETITION

Acoustic/Electric ~ Blues|Rock|Folk etc. Phill plays a variety of styles to accompany his original compositions. An Australian east coast resident, from Melbourne to Brisbane and back, he has played with and supported the likes of Ralph McTell ('Streets Of London'), Noel Paul Stookey (from Peter Paul & Mary) and the late Andy Gibb on past tours of OZ.
Phills' compositions are those drawn by a true balladeer who sings about life and love. Where his more dynamic electric style lends itself to good times R&R, Blues and 70s flavours with a dash of country rock thrown in........ 'Lets Go Out' magazine......

My Home Away From Home ~ Kiribati (2001 - 2005)
I've put up some pics from my time in the central pacific country of Kiribati.
I went there with Australian Volunteers International in 2001 as a Technical Advisor/IT Lecturer at the Tarawa Technical Institute for two years and stayed on for another two.
Formerly known as the Gilbert Islands, until gaining independence from the British in 1979. The I-Kiribati (pron: e - kiry-bus) are some of the most friendliest people I have met. It was more of a culture shock coming back home to Australia. Have a look at my Pics of this country that will one day disappear beneath the rising tides.........P.R.
