WELCOME

My name is Phillip Allan and I'm a songwriter based in Chester, Cheshire, UK. Currently I'm sharing ideas and works with songwriters, musicians, playwrights, poets and artists across the UK.

I have been recently composing jazz influenced tracks and performing these songs at sessions in Chester. One of my projects is the preparation a jazz portfolio of songs for submission to a music publisher.

I played at the Telfords Warehouse Songwriters Open Mic on Sunday 11th August 2024. My setlist for the show was;

  • 'Moth To Flame' (written by Phillip Allan)
  • 'Latin American Girl' (written by Phillip Allan and Paul Wightman)
  • 'Runaway Train' (written by Phillip Allan and Paul Wightman)
  • 'One Step Closer To Heaven' (written by Phillip Allan)
  • 'Little Bones' (written by Paul Wightman, Tony Denmade and Phillip Allan)

Also performing is the excellent singer songwriter David Watson.

'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'
