“I couldn’t have asked for a better live music experience, I can’t recommend Phil enough”

Nik and Jaz 2021

Bringing you the most up to date modern pop covers with a chilled acoustic twist or a party set using custom made backing tracks that will have your guests dancing the night away!
Phil has been working in Music for over 10 years, releasing 2 albums and touring the Uk and Europe. Bringing that wealth of experience to your event ensuring the best possible performance!


With a varied set list that covers hits from the 50's onwards I can cover all the classics and bring it up to date with the latest chart hits.
I also take song requests so if theres that special song that you want to hear on your special day just let me know!
I can also provide music before, in-between and after my set through a very high quality PA.


Using professional touring level equipment your event will sound and look incredible, wether you are looking for a stage look with lighting or a more stripped back humble approach with a rug, table and lamp.


Phil is a live sound engineer also and this comes into its own when analysing the performance area provided and can then provide the absolute best sounding performance possible.
