Phil Lowe Biography

I was born in Derby to a working class family and grew up during the late 1950s and '60s. As a teenager in the 1970s I had more curly hair than I knew what to do with and I got interested in drama through being in Gang Shows with the cubs and scouts. I then went on to join a couple of amateur drama groups and developed a love of language through mixing with the people I performed with. In my working life at that time I was working in the butchery trade (like Shakespeare's dad!) and I eventually left this to come to Nottingham to do a degree in Performance Art.

For a while I worked as a professional actor and supplimented my income by woring in the Fine Arts world and I was in a relationship for twleve years including marriage for six. I am now divorced.

Presently, I work for a large credit card company in Nottingham and continue to enjoy writing poetry and photography and acting.
