Introducing England’s best kept secret:
The Village
The Village is the brainchild of quirky music-maker
Phil Matthews. And, if
you’ve never heard of him then it’s probably the fault of
the UK’s music press - although some far-sighted journalists
(and thousands of music fans) have been shouting his name
for years. In fact he’s spent around one whole year at the
top of the UK’s folk charts. A familiar sight in the
Midlands, Phil has begun to seek out new musical territories
to conquer with his original music - music that has been
compared to Robyn Hitchcock, Syd Barrett, Neil Finn, Paul
McCartney, Bob Dylan.......the list just goes on ! But The
Village is so much more than comparisons to other stars. The
Village is quite simply the voice of middle-aged England -
and there’s a lot of us out there !

The spirit of Syd Barrett, Robyn Hitchcock and Andy Partridge permeate the
music of Phil Matthews a.k.a. the Village.
The Village is a magical place for outsiders and oddballs whose stories are
told on debut album 'Welcome To The Village.'
Phil has written and performed with many bands over the years and the
Village is his latest alter ego, with his music played on over 200 radio
stations worldwide and his album tracks streamed and downloaded over 2,000
times.
He has built up a following around the Midlands live circuit winning hearts
and minds with his performances.
