I havn't been in touch will Phil for years. His father is one of the founder members of the Men of Wight, which is how we met. Started playing the melodeon about the same time but Phil was always more adventurous than the usual morris player, even then. I sold him an melodeon in an obscure key (not DG) and he promptly got a tune out of it. Great to see him doing so well, it was a chance encounter on facebook which caught my attention to his skilled playing.
