Phil Welton
Phil has sung and played in bands before and after his career. Phil is a recovering Social Worker. He has lived in Deal since 2007. Phil had spent many years writing songs and at times been out there playing and singing them. Having written poetry when young, Phil recently re-discovered it and initially smuggled his way into The Deal Poets Society on the strength of his song lyrics. However, lockdown put paid to musical performing and Phil started writing actual poems. He found he loved it and became drawn to the wide variety of poetic voices out there.
