Minstrel back home

Tinkering with pianos has been an occupational habit for Phil Royle. However, put the Warrnambool man on stage and his forte is the guitar. The certified piano tuner's love of entertaining sees him in various venues several times a week throughout country Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. But he is taking time out for a series of gigs in his home town this month, performing at the Hotel Warrnambool on Sunday and at the Warrnambool RSL on September 19.

"Warrnambool has been a retreat and somewhere to hang my hat for three years" Royle said. He began his professional performances in 1981, working at country fairs to Kings Cross. A stickler for the crowd favorites, Royle is known for his table-dancing antics to classics and contemporary greats such as The Joker, Paint it black, Holy Grail and To her door.
