Phil Bond
Phil Bond started playing in bands at school in Worcester where he was born in 1953. He played in a band called Near Springs in the 1970s where he met Ric Sanders. Shortly afterwards he moved to Birmingham playing in bands which played nothing but original music.
Bored with living on brown rice and baked beans he got a job in Del Shannon's backing band.Following this he moved to the Channel islands, then a spell in the Middle East, then sailed round the Caribbean. This was followed by some time in the US, thence Europe and Scandinavia.
After sleeping on many different sofas Phil has been back in Birmingham for the last 15 years. During his extended travels he was absorbing lots of different music, traditional forms, jazz and rock n roll. there's always been room for Dylan in his suitcase. Phil plays piano, organ, piano accordion, flute and guitar.
