P. J. Phillips

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

P.J. Phillips (born 24 July 1964) is a British bass player and singer.

Born Patrick Joseph O'Connor in Mile End, London, Phillips works primarily as a session musician, and has played with Vanessa-Mae (1995–2003), Tom Jones, Nina Hagen, Dolly Parton, and others.

UK weekly music publication Sounds, once wrongly posted his death under the heading "Christian Death bass player in Death Plunge" after a freak stage accident in Vienna in 1989 in which Phillips had to be revived by local paramedics (during a brief stint with Goth-Shockers Christian Death).

Phillips can now be seen with artists such as Then Jerico, U.S. singer-songwriter and pianist Jon Regen, as well as others artists including up-and-coming UK singer-songwriter James Carrington.
