WELCOME
My name is Phillip Allan and welcome to my website. I'm a songwriter based in Chester, Cheshire, UK. Currently I'm sharing ideas and working with songwriters, musicians, playwrights, poets and artists across the UK.
I have been recently experimenting with fusing musical styles, composing commercial songs which don't fit into existing genres. Over the next few months I'll be performing these songs at various venues in the North West of England. Watch this space for further details.

I will be opening the music stage at the Westminster Park Family Fun Day at 1:05pm on Saturday 19th July 2025 with a very special setlist of new original songs and a couple of surprise covers.
The annual Westminster Park Family Fun Day is very popular and free to enter starting at 1:00pm. The music stage will be outdoors with a full PA rig on the playing fields of Westminster Park Community Centre, Five Ashes Road, Chester, Cheshire, CH4 7QS.
In addition to a variety of local musicians playing during the afternoon there will be a full licensed bar available, stalls, food, childrens activities and a raffle. Bring the family for a wonderful day out.
Here's a 40 second teaser for one my setlist tracks called 'Leap Of Faith' from my forthcoming album to be released later this year. Special thanks to David Watson for mixing and mastering the track at Dee View Studios.

'Shoot To Kill' by The Heart Athletes released 4.4.2023 An exploration of American gun culture highlighting the desperate need for gun control legislation, the enforcement of measures intended to restrict access to the possession and use of guns in a powerful, scary and controversial way 'Where's the fun in owning a gun if you never get to use it' Composed by: Phillip Allan & David Watson Music Production: David Watson Recorded @ The Wrighthouse and Blue Boy Studios Video Trailer Production: Phillip Allan Music © The Heart Athletes 2023

'Death Row' is the second commission by Mike Hynde to produce a video trailer for one of the poems from a book of poetry he published on Sunday 18th October 2020. It's called 'Dark Hearts and Other Twisted Poetry'. As you can tell by the title this is a far darker book than his first book of poetry called 'Hearts and Flowers'. It shows the potential synergy between a poem and a song.
The book is available from this link; 'Dark Hearts + Other Twisted Poetry'
