Guest glakey Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) I was telling a mate over lunch today about when we went to see him and Tommy at the Terminus in Geelong and how I preferred Phil to Tommy as a guitar player.........

emesbee Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I only just heard about this. An asthma attack at 65. Sad news. RIP Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKay Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Very sad news. I used to go and watch Tommy, Phil and a drummer called David Jones around the traps in Sydney a long time ago. Many enjoyable nights. RIP Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicprObe Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I was shocked when I heard this today as Phil is just a tad older than me..............and a far better guitarist! We'll miss you mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffK Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Just checking my phone early in the morning I saw this on ABC. That is a shock. Condolences to loved ones, friends and fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Used to often see them around the Grafton pubs back in the day, way too young RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundscape Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Spoke to the ex, she has some tapes she made when Tommy and Phil used to tear it up together back in the eighties. Gonna digitise them for her, for posterity. I only saw him play once, back in the nineties, at the Pine Inn on Parramatta rd. God that place was a dive, prolly still is.

The best pub music always comes out of the grottiest dives.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desap Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I was most fortunate to see Phil just last year at the German Club here in Adelaide. This was a special concert featuring the music of The Shadows, and Dire Straits. Great backing band, and Phil was able to make the Shadows hits sound even better - they were an early influence on him. I also now realise why you don’t here too many Dire Straits tribute bands - too hard to emulate the great Mark Knopfler - but Phil could do it - great concert - great electric guitarist - RIP Phil Emmanuel.
