Phil Maguire is a folk and blues musician from South East London that has been touring their unique blend of contemporary and traditional folk music for over 10 years across London and the UK. A life of gigging on the road birthed a number of singles that were followed by the EP ‘The Church Bell’ in early 2022. 2023 then saw the release of his debut album ‘Valley Of My Dreams’. A contemporary folk record steeped in the tradition that has been picked up by a number of radio stations in the UK. 2023 saw Phil performing 52 gigs in 52 weeks. Phil went out on tour in April 2024 performing across Southern England from Kent to Devon. The summer saw Phil performing two shows at Green Man Festival and gigging in Hertfordshire, Sussex, Wiltshire & Hampshire.

The Spring and Summer will be made up of shows across the UK and a string of festival gigs including Glastonbury Festival and Great Escape.
