"We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the song and the way Phil was able to enable our group members to express themselves creatively. He is a skilled musician and has the ability to gently guide the group to come up with their own ideas to create a unique and personal experience."
Jo Radcliffe - group leader and manager - Always Bee You
