Phil Brown is a ‘veteran’ of the Tin Whistle’ and has been playing this accessible instrument since the age of 15. Phil is an arts graduate and accomplished multi-instrumentalist. As a performer his work with Loose Chippings and Shake-a-Leg is well respected. More particularly his success as a recording artist has contributed greatly to the development of Big Whistle – Phil has cut three highly successful Whistle CD’s since 1995. He is in great demand nationally as a workshop leader and inevitably this has lead to his market leading specialist product knowledge of the high or low whistle. Additionally, the loyal fan base Phil has gained as a result of his groundbreaking albums underpins the reason why he is affectionately known as ‘the whistle man’.

Phil is a director of Big Whistle Music a family run business based in East Lancashire, England.
