About Philip Whitehouse
Philip Whitehouse (known affectionately to his friends as Dill The Devil) is a Professional Music Practice student, who is utterly music-obsessed. Over the years, he has DJ'd at rock nights for pubs and clubs (including at the Sanctuary in Birmingham and club ROAR in Bilston), presented a weekly rock show on Kic FM, and been a staff writer for Ultimate Metal from 2001-2007. He has an unhealthy obsession with death metal, but can occasionally be found singing lustily along with mellower fare like Feeder, Silverchair, Foo Fighters and the like. His favourite food is bacon, and his affections can be easily bought for the price of a bacon sarnie (egg optional, but preferred).
