Phil Doleman

Phil’s love of vintage blues, hokum, old-time, and jug band music shines through as he blows the dust off obscure old songs with his intricate picking and driving rhythms on both resonator ukulele and 5-string banjo. His original songs blend perfectly with the classics, with most listeners believing them to be old songs that passed them by.

Phil tours all over the UK, and has played festivals in the US, France, Germany and Finland. He has appeared on over 20 albums (and a number 2 hit single), on BBC radio and TV, and performed with award winning musicians.

He has a regular column in Uke magazine, and is the author of the book “How Music Works On The Ukulele”
