Phil Cunningham, MBE, born 1960 in Edinburgh, Scotland is a Scottish folk musician and composer. He is best known for playing the accordion with Silly Wizard, as well as in other bands and in duets with his brother, Johnny. When they played together, Johnny and Phil would often horse around, as only brothers can, egging each other on to play faster and faster, and trying, light-heartedly, to trip each other up.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phil and Johnny Cunningham ) Johnny and Phil in concert with Silly Wizard, Oct. 1986.〕 Phil has played with other great Celtic musicians, such as Aly Bain. ==Biography== Phil played accordion and violin from a very young age. He attended school in Portobello, and was raised Mormon, attending church regularly and playing organ.〔http://living.scotsman.com/music/Interview-Phil-Cunningham-.4932184.jp〕 However, by age fifteen due to issues with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints he left, and now describes himself as a spiritualist.〔 At the age of 16, he joined his older brother Johnny in the group Silly Wizard, where he played accordion, tin whistle, harmonium, guitar, synthesizer, and he sang. He also wrote many of the group's songs. After the breakup of Silly Wizard, Phil and Johnny recorded two albums and toured with Irish siblings Mícheál Ó Domhnaill and Triona Ni Domhnaill as the quartet Relativity. Phil has since had a successful solo career, releasing the albums ''Airs & Graces'' and ''The Palomino Waltz'', and several collaborations with fellow Scottish folk musician Aly Bain. He has produced several albums with American singer Connie Dover. In recent years, Phil has also composed classical music and music for theater and television, with 1997 seeing the premiere of his ''Highlands and Islands Suite'' at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. In 2002, Phil was awarded the MBE for services to Scottish music. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters at Glasgow Caledonian University's graduation ceremony on 27 November 2007.〔(Graduation Honorary Awards : News Headlines : Glasgow Caledonian University )〕
