The Strawberry Thieves are..... Phil Wright Drums and Percussion
Phil started banging and shaking things at an early age, much to his mother's annoyance. However, this didn't reach its obvious conclusion - drumming - until he was 28. In the meantime, his musical education took a detour via the clarinet,choral singing (Monteverdi - nice!) and amateur dramatics. Having failed O level music (shameful!), Phil concentrated on the sciences. Maths A level revision was accompanied by Genesis, Pink Floyd, Camel and Led Zeppelin, courtesy of Radio Caroline (great!). Four years at Surrey University resulted in BSc in mechanical engineering and lead to 15 happy years breaking artificial hips and bus axles as a Research and Design Engineer (smashing!). Phil currently works as a Research Assistant in Robotics at Leeds University.   read more about Phil
