More about Phil

Phil worked as a local ABC breakfast presenter in the late eighties, attracting a large following of loyal listeners. He is a passionate environmentalist and has worked for The Sydney Morning Herald and in Aussie Cinema. Phil was assistant director on Mad Max 2; Gallipoli and The Last Outlaw. His taste is eclectic, ranging from Classical to World to Jazz and Blues, Grunge and selectively, Punk.

Twenty-five years ago Phil suffered a brain virus that restricts his life to a five-minute memory island. “Not even Franz Kafka could dream this up,” he has said, “it’s an ongoing existential sensory deprivation.” Phil likes nothing better than to sit at a cafe and engage in the present moment, with the passing parade, and to present his passion for life in music on radio.
