About Me

My photo
Phil
I retired from the Royal Marines Band Service in 2007 having served for 33 years as a musician, eventually becoming a Director of Music and running my own band. After retirement, I took my family sailing in the Philippines with a view to sailing back to the UK via Australia. However, for many reasons our plans changed and after 9 years living in Dartmouth we have now moved to Totnes .I am married to Lynn and we have four children. Daniel and his wife Sara live in Wales; Hannah is married to another Dan and they live with our grandchildren Sophia, Isaac and Elijah in Newton Abbot. Lydia is married to Tim and they live and work in London and have just had our fourth grandchild, Ernest. Julia married to Angus and they live in Newquay. My time is taken up with playing, writing and teaching music, working as a Debt Coach for the charity Christians Against Poverty, working and volunteering as a hill and mountainside on Dartmoor and the Lake District, and being very involved in our local church.
