BIO

PHIL AND TRUDY EDGELEY:
Phil Edgeley, hard-edged blues slide trouper, nimble-fingered folk alchemist, has been criss-crossing the continent tirelessly with a series of seminal sets and a vanload of envy-inducing instruments. His trademark Churchill Acoustic, Tim Kill Weissenborn and National Steel guitars combined with hard-knocking a reputation as songsmith, stand-out player and Troubletown troubadour on the Australian Blues/Roots/Folk scene results in songs that are direct, yet somehow still soulful and sensitive. In 2005 releasing the album - This Life Phil received favourable airplay in Australia and Overseas. The second album - Then and Now, became another favourite amongst punters and radio stations alike in 2007. In November 2011 Phil somehow managed, amidst this heavy touring schedule, to record and release his 3rd album – In the Blood, It featured 8 new songs as well as arrangements of 5 tracks written by some of his favourite musicians, it is the closest representation of Phil's passionate performance in a live show to date. In the words of Jim Conway, Phil is a.."Masterful guitarist and songwriter who performs with great heart and passion"

Phil's British Folk/Blues songwriting has now been infused with Trudy Edgeley's tropical tempos and melodies to create a new sound...

Trudy Edgeley, an Australian Singer Songwriter with multicultural roots in The Solomon Islands, Australia, Malaysia, Ireland and Jamaica, is back on the boards where she belongs. Offering a diverse and extensive wealth of music and culture, Trudy creates a blend of vocals and sound that reflects her passion for her music. From a youngster singing in the church choir, to solo chanteuse, music manager and booking agent she is now performing alongside Phil Edgeley in various guises, weaving the latest instalment of a story that goes down deep in her blood.

Playing on stage together creates an infusion of cultures that produces a musical experience that is both captivating and intriguing. Having performed together through the UK, Europe and the USA, Trudy and Phil encapsulate the dynamics of a great partnership and the interaction with the audience draws the listener into a new and exciting place.

“Phil and Trudy combine Blues & Roots with rhythmic patterns to make a powerful feast for the ears” - Brian Fraser.
