Phil Hare @ 81 Renshaw 05/10/18

Phil Hare is an acoustic guitarist, troubadour, and mentor.

Inspired to buy an acoustic guitar in 1977 after discovering the words and music of Roy Harper, John Martyn and Mike Chapman, Phil started writing folksy ballads and songs and doing ‘floor spots’ around the many folk clubs in his native Wirral and neighbouring Liverpool. Since then Phil has built a successful career playing at festivals, clubs and venues across the country, and has an extensive catalogue of recorded music. His distinctive and accomplished guitar style means Phil is in great demand as a solo performer, band member (he was in local folk rock band Full House), and guest musician.

Described as an all-purpose acoustic guitar hero and singer-songwriter Phil, who now lives in the Cambridgeshire town of March, will be making a rare and highly anticipated return to Liverpool in October. Expect fine songs, exceptional musicianship, and a possible surprise guest or two!

Support on the night is from local singer-songwriter Marc Vormawah. Previously with Liverpool band Personal Column, Marc is currently gaining new fans with his witty, lyrical songs played in his own inimitable style.

Unfortunately Katie Nicholas is not able to join us but her place will be amply filled by Charlie McKeon. A master of stringed instruments – guitar, banjo and waldzither, to name a few – Charlie is a folk enthusiast who’s equally at home with traditional and contemporary music.

Doors open at 7.30pm and the music starts at 8.00pm. We finish by 11.00pm at the latest.

Tickets are £8 in advance both online and in person from:-
