Phil had been ill for some time. I have no more information at the present. But once funeral details are known I will pass them on. Please PM me. Phil was a great singer. A stalwart of both the Wimborne Folk Session and Wimborne Folk Festival. You would also find him popping up at Falmouth and Bournemouth voice tours and at Chippenham festival. And a lot of places in between. Many that knew him will, I am sure remember his rich voice joining in with the chorus . Or his guitar blending with Wendy's accordion playing. Phil loved singing the songs of Stan Rodgers so just the chorus of one of the ones I loved to hear him sing, and join in with. "For just one time I would take the north-west passage, To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea, Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage, And make a north west passage to the sea" Geoff |

Most of that time we have vied with each other to do the next Tom Paxton song. "Are you going away with no word of farewell" Peter |

I quickly realised I was not (as I'd rather arrogantly assumed)the only person in the area who was a Stan Rogers fan and knew I could never sing his songs as well as Phil could. I'll miss his rich voice, subtle guitar playing and wonderfully sharp sense of humour. He was a good man and we'll all miss him. |
