PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN
Phil migrated to Australia at the age of 10. He still feels strongly attached to his Irish roots and has returned to Ireland as an adult, even living there for a while. Two of the tracks on his new album — "Belfast Boy" and "Ballymena Agnes" (written for his grandmother) — were inspired by Ireland. Phil — who now lives in the Blue Mountains of NSW, west of Sydney — clearly adores his family, wife Judy and children Brianna (14), Georgia (11) and Jesse (9), and finds endless inspiration in them — even if they're not always keen to appear in his songs. The poignant "Georgia's Smile" and the equally delightful "I'll Come Running" from Edge of It All were written about his two daughters. He built a career in music, performing in bands and as a solo artist, in clubs, pubs and wherever he could. He's done everything from biker shows and parties to strip shows, and even managed to generate a residency at an Irish pub on the basis of three Van Morrison songs (played all night) and a newly created band name — appropriately enough, Down Pat. He's toured both nationally and internationally, playing in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the USA. Prior to his ABC Music deal, Phil released four independent albums, and is already writing songs for his next release. Recognised as one of the brightest songwriters on the Sydney scene, his work is sure to be in demand once it's discovered by a wider audience. And now Edge of It All has hit the airwaves, the previously well-kept secret of Phil Davidson's talent will be revealed to legions of new fans. The man who's created a collection of exquisite songs inspired by his love for his family will see them touch people he's never met — thanks to the power of music.
