About the artist

Philip Lane (born 1950, Cheltenham, England) is an English composer and musicologist. Lane read music at Birmingham University. Whilst at University he developed a deep interest in Lord Berners, about whom he wrote a thesis and ultimately became a trustee of the Berners Estate, overseeing the completion of all Berners’ music on to CD. He taught music at The Cheltenham Ladies' College from 1971 to 1998, and was invited to look after the estate of Richard Addinsell in 1993.
