Continuing our posts detailing the various acts that will be performing at Shrewkfest 2027 and in no particular order here's info on 2 more acts.
Phil Doleman
Phil is no stranger to Shrewkfest, having appeared many times and we're thrilled to welcome him back once again.
Phil’s love of vintage blues, swing, and jug band music shines through as he blows the dust off obscure old songs and gives new life to classics. With just his big voice and his ukulele he'll take you back to the speakeasies and juke joints of 100 years ago. “massively entertaining" Blues Matters“Genuinely good-time music from ukulele stalwart” fRoots
Phil has travelled all over the UK and to Europe and the US performing and leading workshops at festivals, theatres, and clubs.
He has performed on BBC radio and TV, and shared stages with some of the world’s finest players.
He is a regular contributor to Uke Magazine, has composed pieces for the London College of Music ukulele grades, and is the author of several books including “How Music Works On The Ukulele”, "How Songs Work On The Ukulele", and "The Blues Ukulele Tool Kit".
The Phil Doleman signature model soprano ukulele is produced by Millar Ukuleles and World of Ukes.
PHiA
PHiA is amongst the many acts making their Shrewkfest debut in 2027 and we're very excited to welcome her to the main stage.
PHiA is a German singer-songwriter of Folk and Soul music based in London. It is her vision to make songs that remind us all to believe in ourselves and our dreams. Like a hippie goddess, she blends intimate and dreamy live atmospheres with poetical, healing and affirmational lyrics and her powerful yet caressing vocals that send light beams from her heart directly into yours.
She has recently put this vision into action during her SiGNS OF LiGHT-Tour in France and Germany (summer 2026), but as well during every single show in London, her home since December 2024. Bravely, she followed her heart all the way to the English capital, overcoming obstacles such as the extremely tough visa regulations in place since Brexit.
“I ain’t joking about my dream”, says PHiA.
The French Radio Show “L'Oreille Qui Gratte" (Radio Agora Côte d'Azur, FM 94.0) writes: „PHiA is a storyteller. Her velvet voice full of smiles creates stories of travels and artworks. Every note of her ukulele is a drop of colour. It is magical to relax in her music.”Shrewkfest 2027 will bring the trilingual artist and her ukulele baby all the way up to the Midlands with one aim: To meet as many of you as possible in person and share moments of lightful connection through true heartfelt original music. PHiA draws inspiration from The Mamas and The Papas, ELIZA, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson and Lianne La Havas.
