Phill..or was that Bill....

'Its far better discovering old bands from the 60's, you think, how on earth didnt I hear this until

About Me

Howdy, Im Phill and Im from stoke on trent. I love music, mainly 60's stuff, british R&B, psychedelic,jazz/funk, garage, freakbeat, 60's eurobeat, early rare soul, folk, the british blues boom, Haight-Ashbury san francisco scene, early heavy psychedelic rock/progressive rock, classic rock. Also like current music like the lea shores, alfa 9, the bees, the black apples or anything heavily 60's inspired like the daptone label with soul and funk artists on such as sugarman 3 and sharon jones and the dap-kings. Cant stand the mainstream shit just because the nme says its good like razorlight, jet, arctic monkeys, kooks, the view, sunshine underground! load of bollocks in jeans that dont fit! Live with my girlfriend peppi in our flat in milton. support arsenal f.c, go on the gunners!. work for nhs in learning disabilities. been there 6 years now and love it. plan to do my nurse training when i pull my finger out! love going out with mates to gigs and clubs, and going to new untouchables events and soul nights. got a great bunch of mates! we all have a great laugh, they all seem to be in bands either together or not, Im currently learning Piano/electric organ and bass guitar. supose thats something else where i need pull my finger out too and get in a band.!Love vintage scooters especially lambrettas. I own a 1960 series 2 lambretta which isin my pictures if you want a look along with a few others ive had in the past. My Current Venture is along with some mates starting a 60's inspired club night hosting carefully selected bands, some local some not aslong as they have a vintage 60's edge fused with dj's from hopefully all over the place playing their blend of 60's music. This will hopefully take on different themes for each event depending on the style of music. The first one being 'freakout friday...off with the octopus'.
