Phil is one half of folk supergroup Show Of Hands and is in much demand as a multi-instrumentalist and producer, having been described by The Guardian as Where Steve Earle and Richard Thompson collide. Perhaps best known as a top-flight fiddler, Phil is also a master of slide, Spanish and tenor guitars, mandocello, viola, mandolin and South American cuatro, not to mention contributing his rich and remarkable vocals. All are songs and music of memory and significance, sung in the subtle and melodic Phil Beer style and interjected with musings and amusings to an almost personal audience. Very old songs, very new songs, so much to choose from after all this time!
