I’m also interested in theatre technical work and have designed and operated lighting and sound for various productions at The Barn Theatre in Oxted, the Charles Cryer Studio Theatre in Carshalton and the Croydon Youth Theatre. My wife acts with some of these groups. I enjoyed operating cameras, mixers and other equipment at public access cable TV studios in Mountain View and Hayward,

Phil’s main hobby is playing the violin in various amateur orchestras and chamber groups, sometimes for a fee. He started learning when he was 8, which means he’s been playing for nearly [mumble] 60 years and should know where the notes are by now. He also plays the piano, badly.
