About the show
This show was rescheduled from 17th May 2026.
Making a welcome return to the Wesley Centre in October 2026, is the award-winning musician, singer and composer Phil Beer.
With a professional career that started in the 1970's, Phil is best known as the founder of the West Country?s award winning acoustic duo, Show of Hands. He has also been a member of the Albion Band and has toured with Mike Oldfield, Johnny Coppin and played sessions for acts as varied as Steve Harley, Jackie Oates, Pete Townsend and The Rolling Stones.
He has a great deal of material to draw on for his solo appearances, which are an eclectic mix of traditional tunes, covers of Springsteen or The Hollies, together with his own compositions and songs from his contemporaries.
A vocalist and dazzling multi-instrumentalist, Phil is a highly accomplished fiddler and also plays guitar, mandocello and mandolin. His songs and music are all of memory and significance and sung in the subtle and melodic Phil Beer style interjected with musings and amusings. It is a treat of past and current favourites from one of the most popular musicians on the acoustic circuit.
Featuring - Phil Beer
Phil is one half of folk supergroup Show Of Hands and is in much demand as a multi-instrumentalist and producer and has been described by the Guardian as 'where Steve Earle and Richard Thompson collide'. He was nominated for the coveted Musician of the Year title in the 2009 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. He is perhaps best known as a top-flight fiddler, but his skills don't stop there: he also plays slide, Spanish and tenor guitars, mandocello, viola, mandolin and South American cuatro, not to mention contributing his rich and remarkable vocals.
All are songs and music of memory and significance, sung in the subtle and melodic Phil Beer style and interjected with musings and amusings to an almost personal audience.
