Kent drummers in Guinness World Record attempt 13th July
Phil Wilson and Matt Gibson
- Drumming up support for MS PHIL WILSON lives in Rochester and has played with a number of bands including Brian Poole, Screaming Lord Sutch, Brian Connolly’s Sweet, Les Gray’s MUD, Edison Lighthouse, MUD II and The Sharpee's. Phil has made numerous appearances on TV both in the UK and Europe, he has also played many of the top venues including the NEC Arena, Wembley Arena, Hammersmith Apollo and the Sport Paleis in Antwerp. Medway musician Phil Wilson, former member of LES GRAY'S MUD and drummer with MUD II, will be joining fellow 70s drummer DON POWELL from Slade to try and smash the current Guinness World drumming record in Birmingham on Monday 13th July 2009 and raise money for Multiple Scelrosis at the same time Phil, a professional musician for more than 30 years and a regular on the medway music scene, is taking part in Stick it to MS, which will bring together more than 600 drummers under one roof at the National Indoor Arena. The world record attempt, which takes place next week, aims to raise thousands of pounds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The existing record is 533 drummers which was achieved at Woodstick USA in 2006. Although there will be 600 drummers taking part, Phil is honoured to have been selected for one of just 50 VIP places, which means he'll be keeping the beat with a number of celebrity drummers including Don Powell from Slade and former Status Quo drummer John Coghlan
