Phil talks about early influences and attempts to remember a couple of tunes from way back! At some point, poor light was almost stopping play! This video is dedicated to the much missed and highly influential English guitarist Nic Jones. If you see any of his recent (lovingly mastered) CD compilations, I would urge you to buy. Not forgetting of course, the classic 'Penguin Eggs' from which 'Planxty Davis' was lifted.

Have faith Saffsgrandad; in my experience, if you have reached a certain degree a proficiency, the majority of people will be enjoying what you are doing too much to worry about how Phil Hare or Bert Jansch would be playing the same tune at that moment.9 years ago

Cheers. Yeah, this vid was very much a 'suck it and see' type-thing. There is a better one on here from a gig at Belper folk club. You're more than welcome to come over if you can, although I reckon it's a bit cold for shorts right now!11 years ago

Hey Phil, this is very tasty. Your guitar sounds quintessential Fylde. Wow, you do Nic Jones justice with your rendition here. And yet, I know that you can play it a whole lot better these days? Am I right? I'd love to be sitting there with you in your sun room in my shorts, with my Martin guitar in my lap.11 years ago

Hi Phil, I have added a video response. I have taken some liberties with your arrangement- I hope you don't mind (this is folk music after all !) A truly beautiful tune and your arrangement is very inspiring :)12 years ago

@malcolmpaine Hi Malcolm. Thanks for your comment. The tuning is CGCGCD (C with an add 9). If you go to my website there are some basic shapes shown (should you need them to get started). With regard to a tab; because I make my living from music, I make a small charge of £2 per tab (easily done through PAYPAL) and I can send you one if you message me with a private e-mail address. All the best. Phil13 years ago
