OK, i'm putting myself in the firing line, but to me, Phill McCann is the most
boring player i've ever heard.

Sorry, but that vibrato!!! Where is it going???  It seems out of control and
really totally distracts me from the music.
Technically I can't fault the man, but his tone isn't too good.  In fact, about
2 years ago I went to hear him solo with a band, and he was cracking notes all
over the shop and although I was sitting in front of him, there was no power in
his sound.
However, after he'd played, he conducted the band and WOW, what a change he
made to the band, drew everything out of them and made them PLAY.  It was
great.

Incidently, he comes from the same town as me....<BEAM>My gran know his
mum!!</BEAM>

OK, i'll stand firm and take my abuse.  Thanks for listening, 

best wishes,
