In his later years he worked as a composer for television and radio, as a sound engineer and as an educator.
Phil was born in Newton Longville, Buckinghamshire in 1951. His first instrument was the trumpet, which he picked up at the age of 6 before switching to bass guitar during his school years. He joined his first band, The Stormbeats, in 1961, playing at the local cinema on Saturday mornings.[2] When asked on his motivation for becoming a musician, Phil claimed that it was "to get girls!".[3]
Phil went on to study music at Watford College of Music before moving to London in pursuit of a career in music.
