He Said he " always had faith" in his former student.

Phil began playing guitar aged 15 before becoming a one-to-one tutor.

" Eventually, I opened a studio with a friend where Sam came to rehearse and record and hang out, but prior to that I'd taught Him since he was About 12 . "

" I don't think there's words I can find at The Moment . It was awesome. It's what dreams are made of. It's A Fantasy .

" I've known Sam for so long and it came up three or Four Years ago before he could have sold it out, he'd say, 'What I'd love to see, is you, me and 'Johno' from AC/DC back-to-back'. I'd say to Him , 'yeah, that would be something, now ha'way'.

" And The Other day, it came to pass. "

Phil was brought On Stage with AC/DC frontman and fellow Geordie Brian Johnson to perform Back In Black and You Shook Me All Night Long.
