I grew up on the Base Green estate in Sheffield, 5 mins. walk from Phil Galley, and also played in bands, although not the same ones as Phil. I moved to Leicester in 1974 and some years later was somewhat suprised to find that Phil lived in Leicester too.
He was in a trio called The G men, doing the working mens club circuit for a while and then seemed to drop out of sight.
I did hear some disturbing news about him, but I have no way of knowing whether it was true or not.
