Honeygene’s Biog Phil Honey-Jones and Charlie began singing together many moons ago, improvising with the acoustic guitar, voices and harmony. As father and daughter, they’ve always had a special musical connection, but really only started writing together as Honeygene in July 2006, when they wrote ‘Perfect Harmony’ as requested by Phil’s mum/ Charlie’s grandma, Nesta Allen when it became known that she had terminal cancer. Nesta was the source of Phil and Charlie’s inspiration, being a lifetime concert pianist herself, piano teacher and having always supported their endeavours. During this last year, Honeygene have played many gigs all over London in venues like The Dublin Castle, The Barfly and The Foundry gaining experience, confidence and some fans on the way! Drawing on many influences such as alternative/acoustic, rock n roll, country, rhythm and blues, and reggae, they have recorded fourteen songs for their debut album ‘A beautiful place to get lost’, employing the talents of good friends, Adam Lewis on the drums, and TJ Tarentino on bass guitar. Sound engineer Richard Bignell who has worked with the likes of Jamiroqui and Mark Almond, produced both Phil’s solo album of 2006,” Naked and Naïve” and Honeygene’s of 2007“A beautiful place to get lost” at his studios, Area 18, in West London. Both albums are released on Banana Castle Records www.bananacastle.co.uk
