Origin
Bio
From three-plus decades as Motorhead's axeman to being voted number 20 in the poll of top 100 Welsh Heroes (comfortably beating JPR Williams, Roald Dahl and Sir Anthony Hopkins) to covering a Norwegian promoter in squirty cheese, Pontypridd-born Campbell continues to live life to the fullest with guitar in hand and humour intact.

Phil Campbell is legendary in his own right as having been Motorhead's guitarist for 30 plus years until the demise of the band almost 10 years ago after Lemmy's death. In 2016, Phil formed a band with 3 of his sons, hence the name Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons.

When festival season was wiped out last year thanks to the raging COVID-19 pandemic, for us music fans, it felt a hammerblow with our summer being quiet and solitary away from the buzz of a packed crown or the roar of amplified noise on an outdoor stage.
