Phil’s early professional years were
spent as a free-lance drummer and percussionist
playing with bands and orchestras in the Southeast.
He also established himself as a drum and piano
teacher in his early twenties.
Arranging
and musical direction
was the next avenue that Phil took, undertaking
concert tours in the late eighties and early
nineties with an array of visiting American artists.
In the late eighties Phil decided it was now time to
row his own boat and launched the Tribute to
the Carpenters. In the Summer of ’96, Phil
called upon all his previous experience to create
his most demanding endeavour to date, The
Illegal Eagles, Britain’s original and
leading Eagles tribute show www.illegaleagles.com
1998
saw Phil establish himself as proprietor and
recording engineer of Nightfly Studios in
Southend on Sea. Nightfly quickly gained a
reputation as the premier recording studio in the
area, housing Access to Music, a national
college for aspiring rock musicians. Phil continued
to spread his musical knowledge through teaching in
many school across the southeast.
TABBY ROAD STUDIOS now enables Phil
to focus on recording local bands, solo artists,
schools, choristers, choirs… the variety of
clientele is endless! Teaching drums and piano
remains a rewarding part of studio life, with pupils
growing in number as Phil’s expertise and patience
becomes more and more known in Lincolnshire. |
