Phil Beer w/ Daniel Isaiah

Mr Phil Beer needs no introduction to anyone! One half of the legendary Show Of Hands, Phil makes his long fabled return to The Pump. We are overjoyed to have Phil here again. It’s been a very long time.

For those who don’t know, Phil is a English multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, song writer and performer. Famous for his bands Show of Hands and Feast of Fiddles, as well as a past member of The Albion Band, Phil has been performing since he was 14 years old. With 59 years of shows and the many miles he has laid down on the circuit cements his place at the very top of the traditional folk standard in Great Britain and beyond.

He is in fact a Doctor of Music, after being awarded an honorary doctorate of music from the University of Plymouth in 2015!

With over 50 studio albums to his name, as well as a clutch of folk awards, there isn’t a better way to celebrate Phil’s contribution to music, than an intimate showcase of his excessive talents, than a gig down ‘The Pump.

Opening the show is Canadian musician, Daniel Isaiah, who happens to be celebrating his birthday this day too! Happy birthday Daniel, and welcome to Trowbridge!
