HE HAS been compared to the likes of David Bowie and Jarvis Cocker, his songs performed with “an often gleeful amount of bile”.
Now critically acclaimed singer songwriter Philip Jeays is coming to the Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre for a gig on Saturday, November 5, at 8pm.
There won’t be fireworks, but there’ll be plenty of attitude and intensity in his songs which range from the funny and sarcastic to the romantic and bittersweet.
Philip has appeared on Radio 3 and Radio 4, and has supported Robin Ince on tour twice, as well as at the Latitude Festival and the Hammersmith Apollo.
He, in turn, is supported by Geoff Allnutt, aka The Speech Painter, at the Bordon venue. Geoff has been a performance poet since 1988, taking his unique spoken style to venues up and down the country and to music and literature festivals.
He is the winner of numerous poetry slams, and he formed poetry’s first pop group, Atomic Lip, in 1995.
Tickets are £14. For more information and to book tickets, call the Phoenix on 01420 472664 or e-mail [email protected]
