Phil Manzanera
Encyclopedia : P : PH : PHI : Phil Manzanera
Phil Manzanera (born 31 January 1951 in London, England as Philip Targett-Adams, educated at Dulwich College), played guitar with Quiet Sun, then Roxy Music. Known for a groundbreaking punk like guitar tone early in his career, he later incorporated his Latin roots into his guitar phrasing. He went on to form the band 801, which included in its repertoire a number of Roxy Music and Eno classics. Fans consider that the 801 work possesses spectacularly high energy and a wonderful live quality.
The track "Wish You Well" on Manzanera's recent album '6PM' consists of a tribute to Ian MacDonald.
Manzanera appears briefly playing a guitar solo in Red Dwarf Series 6 episode "Psirens". Only his hands appeared playing the guitar, and his credit on the Internet Movie Database lists his role as "Hands of Psiren Lister". [link]
