Philip will make you happy!
He sings Italian and Neapolitan and American classics plus American songs from the likes of Cole Porter, Louis Prima and Dean Martin. He tells stories, in music and words, of sweethearts, broken hearts, love, loss and children, but the humour of life always shines through.
The music is expertly arranged by Dick Lee and played by a stellar band of musical talents, all well known in Scottish musical circles.
