Phil is back from the UK and has a few ‘select’ gigs lined up in February and April.  We hope you might be able to catch one of his performances.

If you don’t know him already, you will discover that an evening with Phil Drane adds up to an experience not to be missed - an eclectic repertoire of songs, beautifully arranged and presented, smooth vocals and silky guitar, mixed with a soupcon of chat and witty banter.

Phil’s performances are a heady brew of traditional and contemporary folk songs from his own English Folk-Roots and material from other cultures that have influenced his life, along with his own well-crafted compositions such as the award-winning Song for Jackie.

Phil’s guitar work is much admired everywhere he performs, particularly his fulsome use of open tunings, and his playing has been described as ‘reminiscent of the very best exponents of finger-style guitar’.
