Phil Riley51 Phil Riley Leicester I started musical life a long time ago now in local folk clubs in the midlands - I think I was 16 when I did my first gig just solo. Over the years I knocked on the door of a 'proper' musical career but never got further than the hall! I had a single out on Polydor in '76 with a band called 'Kites' and Pete Townsend of The Who signed me up to his Eel Pie Publishing Company. I bounced about a bit and finally got another single out on EMI with a band called 'The Dots' and a deal with Virgin Publishing in '82. It reached the dizzy heights of number 96 in the charts but for some reason we never got a follow up. Ah well.. When The Dots expired I hung up my guitar and didn't really play again until the autumn of 2006. I team up with an a couple of pals for duo and trio stuff and am actively seeking to get my new repertoire of 'folky'/'Americanary' songs out to see if I've got an audience (however small and select!)
