Not many of you will know him but I saw the Pretty Things support Quo in 1975 - which is long after the Pretties' hey day in the 60's - and they were excellent. I bought their album Silk Torpedo on the strength of seeing them when I got my first working wage and it's still a favourite of mine today. One of THE soundtracks to my late teens. Kept an eye on them on and off ever since. Alas, another one gone  |

Phil was also in Diesel alongside Spud for a while. A sad loss.

I was never a follower but was always aware they were around because my uncle said there was this band called The Pretty Things and they were the ugliest bunch of. I thought if Uncle could be bothered to have a go, they must be OK RIP Phil.
