Verity Sharp - BBC Radio 3 - Late JunctionPhillip is one of a new breed of English slide guitarists.
Beginning as a bottleneck blues player Phillip has branched out to incorporate a
wide range of musical styles into his playing. He is fast becoming known as one
of the countries finest lap slide players, his dazzling technique showcases
careful study of such world slide guitar styles as Hindustani slide guitar,
bluegrass Dobro and Hawaiian lap steel, deftly combined with a strong grounding
in traditional music of the British Ilse's. Phillip is also a fiery harmonica
player, heavily influenced by Sonny Terry he has developed a very distinctive
and crowd pleasing solo style which rarely fails to get people
moving.....
Phillips influences range are
many-Jimi Hendrix, Blind Willie Johnson, Son House, Ry Cooder, Jerry Douglas,
Debashish Bhattacharya, Martin Simpson, Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson, Davy
Graham, John Renbourne, and Bert Janch......
"Phillip Henrys dedication
and originality has made him one of the most exciting newcomers to the British
acoustic scene, he is probably one of the finest lap players to have recently
emerged, wonderfull noises emanate from this humble northerner ! "
Kevin
Brown -renowned slide guitarist and songwriter.

support from
JOHN FORRESTER and ANDY
WARD-WEBB
John Forrester toured Europe
extensively as a singer/songwriter playing
Acoustic Guitar & Bouzouki and released 2 albums and an E.P. for German Indie label Twah! Records. After years of solo
work he took a break to play bass for New
Model Army offshoot band Nozzle and songwriter Robb Johnson. Now reunited with friend
& guitarist Andy Ward-Webb,
they are playing as a duo for the first time in 12 years. Forrester's intense vocals paired with Ward-Webb's virtuoso
guitar playing make for quite an experience.
Expect indie guitar attitude, well struck
acoustics, and a bouzouki called Hamish - all dished up with passion, energy & humour.
"some of the most stunningly
articulate songs you'll hear anywhere from
anyone... an acoustic backdrop brimming with passion, ideas &
invention..." - Rock n
Reel"strangely melodic sounds and
truly passionate lyrics...Forrester has the
rare gift of turning bare, raw emotion into commercial music" -
