The UKs Best Folk Duo From: The Shambles Yes I agree, he plays everything so very well too and it all adds to the songs not competes with them. His slide guitar work is so tidy. He also plays the piano! They do deserve to be better known. |

Slight tendency to overproduce & sound Poppy, but the music shines thru. Don't tell them in the US, they'll only want to keep them over there. Phil has recently spent some time going round schools promoting Fiddle & folk music. Pity others can't follow that lead to keep music alive |

The UKs Best Folk Duo From: The Shambles As to them being well known, it is of course a relative thing, I just think they are not as well known as they deserve to be. I started this because in all of the time I have been coming here, I have not seen them mentioned at all. |
