Phil Gould (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phil Gould (born Philip Gabriel Gould, 28 February 1957, in Hong Kong) is a British professional drummer from the Isle of Wight in southern England.

[edit] Career

With singer Mark King, he was one of the founding members of the band, Level 42.

Gould studied percussion at the Guildhall School of Music in London, where he met keyboardist, Mike Lindup. Together with Gould's guitarist brother Boon, they formed Level 42 and had several major hits. Their biggest selling albums were World Machine and Running in the Family. In 1987, the Gould brothers left Level 42, with Phil Gould becoming a respected session musician. The single "It's Over" was a fitting end to the siblings' stay in the band.

King and Lindup have continued with Level 42. They released a new album in September 2006, titled Retroglide.
