  About Phil
Phil Drane is a native English Folk-Heritage musician. Born and raised in Lancashire, he now spends half his life in England and the other half in New Zealand.  Phil's performances are an eclectic mix of ancient and modern indigenous English folk songs, his own compositions and the odd surprise.
