Contacting Phil Coulter for print license

We want to use Phil Coulter's "The Town I Loved So Well" in the upcoming Rise Again Songbook, but we haven't been able to get a print license for it. We thought we were going to be able to to it through Phil's representatives, but that didn't work. We've tried through the "contact" page on his Website, but got no response.
So, we need to be able to contact Phil directly. Can anybody get a phone number or e-mail address for me?
Best to send it privately instead of posting it here.
Thanks.

I'm in trouble here. We may have to drop this song from the songbook if we can't make contact with Phil Coulter. Can anybody help me make contact with him?

Yeah, I wrote there to the Website three times, and others on the team did the same. No response.

Phil's wikipedia entry reveals that his son plays for Athlone County FC. Maybe contact him via the club?

He used to have a home in Wandsworth, in West London - don't have an exact address, but his house was once pointed out to me - top of East Hill, near to Wandsworth Commom (very close to one of my locals, The Spread Eagle - gawd bless Young's Beer, miss it desperately!!)
May not still be there, of course, but if he is, London telephone directory enquiries might get him.

Anybody have a twitter account who can send him something to ask him to contact [e-mail] to license his song for inclusion in a songbook?

I'll ask around in Derry. I had contact once (for an article I wrote) but it was years ago and he was in Wicklow then.

Joe, you said, "We thought we were going to be able to to it through Phil's representatives, but that didn't work."

Maybe Phil C doesn't want his song in the book. I just re-read these lyrics, and they are deeply personal. Maybe Coulter wants to keep them close.

That's why stars hire representatives, to do unpleasant chores for them, like say no to people asking favors.

Leenia, The Town I Loved So Well is very well known, much recorded, much sung in pubs (I even heard it sung in Japanese translation at a session in Derry, The Town).I expect is in print elsewhere; it is certainly easily available on the internet. It would be very late in the day for the author to try to make the song less available.

(btw. I think Coulter's Scorn Not His Simplicity is even more personal)

Just saw this thread - I know someone who knows him, or used to. I'll try phoning him, though he's usually out in the evenings (it's about 9 pm here). But I'll give him a ring tomorrow morning (my time) and see if he can run down Cool Filter.

Phil is by all accounts very nice, and his songs are sung everywhere here. Anyway, I'll try to pass the question on via my friend, and let you know what happens. If there's any personal info, I'll email it.

Sorry, I cross-posted with Thompson. Shall I now not bother to phone my friend?

I think it's ok, Bonnie - the Phil Coulter twitter account replied immediately to say to contact his publisher at moirawfourseas whose address is at eircom and a dot, then net (I've PM'd Joe Offer, but put this up here too in case anyone else wants to license Phil Coulter's work.
On the other hand, a more personal contact might be good, since J.O. is in a rush - Joe will say what he'd like.

Hi, Bonnie - Let's hold off for a couple days and see what happens. I'll contact you privately if I need you to call.
Thank you all.
