Taken from the album "Things I'll Never Say".

This was written originally for the limited edition "Notice Period EP" which was sent to everyone who pre-ordered "Things I'll Never Say". I felt it was too good a song for it not to be on the album, and so on it went.

Stepping Off The Edge

A metaphorical journey through the Australian outback capturing both the beauty and tragedy of human exploits.

Retrospect

Red Dirt Road

An out and out rock song - wrote this about 4 years ago, all about what we are doing wrong to our world.

Crash And Burn

A bright red adirondack
And a softly setting sun
A sea of green laying in between
And nothin’s getting done
Caught up in confusion
And distracted by the threat of the rain
Guess I'll stick around few more hours
And let the weather change

Because sometimes the questions sound more and more like a riddle
And maybe the answers lie somewhere in the middle
You gotta find your happy dance and let it settle in the groove
Everybody's got their favorite moves
Smallest of dams can decide which way a river runs
And young dreams can grow up and turn into different ones
Well you can change your mind but you'll never find a road that's meant for you
Not if you can't enjoy the view

Today I watched the sunrise
To search for something new
And as it fought to melt the fog away
I strained to see things through
After rising 'bout an hour
It just plain stopped to move
But that moment gave me just enough time to recognize my cue

With help from my internet friends..

Lullaby

Words that End in a Y

A song inspired by watching too much rolling news.

Rolling News

Phil is a contemporary singer/songwriter who has earned excellent reviews from the national press, with his thought provoking songwriting and energetic live performances drawing comparisons to Neil Finn, Glenn Tilbrook and Ben Folds.

Having been the frontman for The Haiku for 6 years, 2012 saw him go it alone, and play a host of solo shows, including highly successful support slots for Mark Morriss (The Bluetones) and Dave McPherson (InMe).  During his live shows, he makes a real connection with the crowd, often starting and finishing the shows entirely unplugged and shunning the stage to stand right in among the captivated audience.

2014 saw the release of his solo album “Half Live”.  Wanting to capture the feel of his live show on a studio recording, Phil recorded two live shows and took them in to the studio to add a few little extras.  The result is an album which revels in the rawness of a live concert, but still presents the songs the way Phil hears them in his head!

2016 is an exciting prospect that sees Phil turning his back on his life in executive management (he was Technical Director for an internet company) and plunge head first into a fully professional music career with the help of a brand new album, "Things I'll Never Say".

Phil is also heavily involved with the Village Pump Folk Festival, having stage managed the Village Pump Stage since 2012.
