Is this Phil as in Manzanera?

[fingerlock]

Yes it sure is

[Roger]

Just listened to the programme. Very interesting, particularly the bit about a young Bert trying to make his own guitar! Nice to hear Phil Manzanera too, another guy who doesn't always get the recognition that he deserves.

I am ashamed to say that I hadnt taken a great deal of notice of him till I saw him on a DVD called Dave Gilmour and freinds at the Albert Hall, he was awesome

[Roger]

Most people who have heard of him just think of him as the Roxy Music guitarist (pretty good in itself!). In fact he's done a lot of solo stuff, has composed music for Roxy and others, including Pink Floyd, and has many production credits too, including the recent output from David Gilmour. Have a look at www.manzanera.com and youtube too - in particular there's some good footage of him playing at the guitar legends bash in Spain. All along the Watchtower with Dylan is worth a look.
