For 25 years, Phil has worked extensively in music education, teaching and managing music departments in Chelmsford and Brentwood and at Colchester Institute as the Head of School of Music, Media and Performing Arts at University Centre Colchester.
Now focussing on his freelance career as performer, composer and arranger, he is regionally and internationally known for his musical works and performances especially with Tubular Bells Live! and his orchestral works at Ely Cathedral with Jeremy Harmer and the Ely Sinfonia and collaborations with Steve Bingham of the Bingham Quartet, both live and through engaging music videos on YouTube,
Other musical activities include conducting local choirs, performing in theatre pit orchestras and working as the Assistant MD for the English Pops Orchestra (the official performers of the Hooked on Classics live tour) with maestro Louis Clark from ELO.
Inspired by musicians such as Mike Oldfield, ELO, the Beatles and string arrangers from the 1960s onwards, Phil is a multi-instrumentalist who is known for his fast turnaround on orchestral and string arrangements and original compositions. Phil worked extensively with singer Judy Dyble (Fairport Convention, Trader Horne, Giles, Giles & Fripp) as orchestrator and band member.  Phil has also worked with film composers Bob and Barn, Jon Anderson (Yes), Tom Newman (Tubular Bells) and in the 1990s the composer David Bedford. Look out for new releases of Phil’s own material updated in his personal blog.

These are my collection of recordings done by myself over the last 14 years or so. I have been recording on and off, sometimes for several years, throughout that time. There were many more recordings, but sadly they have been lost to the tragic death of many hard drives... R.I.P. 
Most are unfinished pieces, imrpovised in the dark corners of my, forever changing, rooms. 
I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.

House music is fundamental to the existence of THINK! We create the vibe and you introduce it to the world! 

Peace and Love to the family out there!

Many a moon ago I realised how many songs I had recorded, and that although they are not perfect and are rough in places, they are definitely good enough for the internet and deserve a bit of preservation.

Any tracks prefixed with 'The Mistypes' are band recordings and are generally better quality and well worth the listen.

We were formally called Sumi Misen (a mistype of Sumi Masen)

This is also a tribute to the old days of playing music with my mates: Alex "Axel" Lewis, Jonn Hanks, Paul "Williasm" Williams, Michael Marshall.
