Phil McNaughton, Every band needs an instigator: someone with the talent to do things the ‘other way’ and get the best out of whatever he’s doing. In Fat Cat, Phil is that man. A successful singer, guitarist and songwriter for more years than he cares to mention, he has worked with most of the top names in Europe, and has taken his talent to the four corners of the world: a great professional, both in the studio and on stage. Phil fronts the band, and writes most of the original numbers in Fat Cat’s set. He says: ‘If I can make you forget your problems for a couple of hours, put a smile on your face and give you a laugh, then I’ve done my job.’ A Star Trek fan who believes that ‘we are not alone’, Phil loves to cook and play golf to relax.Bruce Hornsby,Terry Kath & The Band are among his musical greats.
