Singer songwriter, sometimes film maker.
Little mandolin a little guitar and a little bit of a new song. Five Easy Pieces.
This is Spinning Around. A new song that I've only just written. Pleased to say I've started work on a studio version. Exciting times.
Sail on Sailor a great number by The Beach Boys. This is me reprising a perf I gave at a Brian Wilson Tribute Night @soundloungecio.bsky.social
Intended to do a song from my new album as promo for gig at Cavern Raynes Park on 28.5.25 but this came out!! #thecavernraynespark #dickphilpitmusic
Gig coming up on Friday 25th at Coffee#1 Epsom. 2 til 4 :)
Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways? Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent Make it make sense www.thetimes.com/article/ddf3...
Dartmoor jail that pays Duchy £1.5m a year may never reopen
Riddled with rats, HMP Dartmoor, which closed in August over toxic gas fears, has 24 years left on its lease

You are not a stranger here. @dannyandthechamps.bsky.social it's just beautiful from the synthy keyboardy layering to the cool yet moody guitar and Bowieish rhythms and vibes. Songs are starting to bed in. Kicking the tyres of life - wow. Great work by @dannythechamp.bsky.social and the champs.
After many generous people sponsored me for over £1,060 last year, I’m going to be pounding the mean streets of Sheppey in February once again to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Any donations - however small - will be very welcome! justgiving.com/fundraising/...
