Trudy & Phil Edgley

.

Phil and Trudy Edgeley are both Singers, Songwriters and multi-instrumentalist. Performing together 
throughout Australia, UK, Europe and the USA, Phil & Trudy encapsulate the dynamics of a great 
partnership on both a musical and a personal level. Throw in a little humour and interaction with the 
audience and the result is a show that draws the listener into a new and exciting place.
Phil Edgeley's (Weissenborn, Acoustic, Resophonic Guitars/Vocals) British Folk/Roots songwriting & music 
style infused with Trudy Edgeley's (Acoustic Guitar/Ukelele/Peruvian Drum/Vocals) melting pot of 
cultures.

Trudy's haunting vocals, melodies, tropical tempos & tribal beats reflects not only her influences and 
passion for her music, but also her desire to tell the stories of her rich ancestery from the canefields of 
Far North Queensland to the shores of Jamaica. This results in well crafted songs that have the added 
interest of fascinating stories which have been seldom told.
Phil has released 3 albums to date, “This Life” (2005) “Then and Now” (2007) and “In the Blood” (2011).
Trudy has released her first solo album “I Am Here” (Sept 2024). Phil and Trudy's duo album, 
“OnePlusOneEqualsThree” (2014) and their latest release “It Ain’t Over Yet” (Feb 2025) is their current 
work.

“A duo that really defines Roots music – engaging & confrontational. A great experience".
Russell Morris
“There's a lot to love on these albums. Beautiful folk blues guitar that seems to lie somewhere between the delta
and Soho in mid 60's, clear articulate vocal style and a heartfelf songwriting voice that never wrong-foots
itself. Trudy's cajon really adds a new dimension."
Shane Pacey (Bondi Cigars, Shane Pacey Trio)

'Phil and Trudy Edgeley have a created a magical brew of Folk, Blues and Roots. They have weaved their musical
spell across Australia, the UK, Europe and the USA. Their performances are authentic conversations, stemming
from heavy roots set deep in fertile soil. We were first enlightened to Phil's astounding skills as a
singer/songwriter/guitarist through his previous canon of tour de force albums, launched in two yearly intervals
over the past decade. Now adding Trudy's sublime percussion to the mix there is a tangible synergy - their debut
album is suitably titled "1 + 1 = 3". In live performance you can hardly believe your ears, with Trudy's world
music influenced patterns within patterns sometimes achieved seemingly by sleight of hand. The alchemy we
witnessed at their September 2014 Sydney gig was the purest playing we have heard in ages. In our experience,
that kind of 'third-eye' subtle yet complex interplay is only possible when performing partners are also life
partners. The Phil and Trudy Edgeley experience is one that transcends music into both a gentle reflection and
passionate celebration of Life - wondrous and earthy narratives evoked with fire and grace. This is one of the
great musical experiences Australia has to offer.’
Tim Huang & Calvin Welch – iHearMusic.com

Phil not only find the percussionist of his dreams, but also a truly sublime singer-songwriter whose music
brought elements of gospel, work song, Pacific Islander, and Indigenous melodies and rhythms to mix and match
Phil's love affair with the Mississippi Delta blues of the '30s through '50s, with a dash of British traditional folk.
They write separately, with Phil bringing nine to Trudy's three songs to the table, with Muddy Waters' "Can't Be
Satisfied" and Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready", the latter sung by Trudy, making up the baker's dozen plus
one, so Oneplusoneequalsthree is still pretty acoustic Delta blues-heavy, and the contrast when Trudy steps
forward adds another really powerful layer to an amiable and, on the quiet, powerful collection.
Michael Smith, Rhythms Magazine
"Masterful guitarist and songwriter who performs with great heart and passion"
Jim Conway
“Phil and Trudy combine Blues & Roots with rhythmic patterns to make a powerful feast for the ears”
