Harold Adolphus Philips (15 January 1929 – 5 July 2000), known as Lord Woodbine, was a Trinidadian calypsonian and music promoter. He is regarded by some as the musical mentor of The Beatles, and has been called the "sixth Beatle".〔Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, James McGrath, ("Lord Woodbine: The forgotten sixth Beatle" ), ''The Independent'', 1 July 2010〕〔Alan Clayson, ('Lord Woodbine' ), ''The Guardian'', 10 July 2000〕 ==Early life== Philips was born in Laventille, Trinidad. In 1943, at the age of 14, he lied about his age and joined the RAF. After World War II, he went back to Trinidad in 1947, where he started to sing calypso. He returned to England in 1948 on the MV ''Empire Windrush'', the ship which carried the first boatful of West Indian immigrants to Britain. The boat also transported two other calypso singers, Aldwyn Roberts (Lord Kitchener) and Egbert Moore (Lord Beginner).〔James McGrath, "(Phillips, Harold Adolphus (1929–2000)=", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Sept 2012, accessed 16 Jan 2013 )〕 Philips lived in Clapham before moving to Wellington in Shropshire. His calypso band, Lord Woodbine and his Trinidadians, was one of the first to tour England. Philips had a variety of jobs in the 1950s, and opened the New Colony Club in Liverpool. He also sang calypso and played the guitar. He played a tenor pan as part of the first professional steel band in England, the All Caribbean Steel Band, which was formed by Gerry Gobin in 1955, and played regularly at the Joker's Club and then the Jacaranda Club in Liverpool, owned by Allan Williams. Philips later played with the All Caribbean Steel Band in their television appearance on the ''Opportunity Knocks'' in July 1965. His music and its influence remain relatively obscure because little of his music was recorded.〔
