Phillip 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.

Plus 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.
