I had 2 requests this week, Ken wanted to hear 2468 Motorway for no better reason than it’s a good track I think \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Another Ken asked me to play Little Green Apples as a thank you to his wife Pam for “putting up with him ” for the 33 years they’ve been married <3<\/p>\n

This week’s Hidden Talent were Phil & Tilley<\/p>\n
They started writing music together in the autumn of 2012 surrounded by the New Forest, an ancient woodland situated on the southern coast of England, an inspiration for these lifelong friends. Phil and Tilley play a blend of alternative acoustic\/folk music, with influences from artists such as Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper and John Martyn. They incorporate their own ideas, using a slide guitar, the more traditional acoustic guitar and an unusual, fold-up-for-travel, upright bass, to create a sound that is uniquely their own.<\/p>\n
A yearning for travel and playing music has seen them play in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium and South East Asia, but their story continues to take them wherever the music allows them to go.<\/p>\n
I played their new track – Sail On. Phil tells me it’s a song about a family member who has passed on while they have been travelling, so a very personal song I imagine.<\/p>\n
