Philamore Lincoln

Philip Kinorra was born Robert Cromwell Anson on 20th October 1940 is Sherwood, Nottingham. He started playing drums in his mid-teens before joining the RAF, where he played in a band that also featured alto saxophonist Trevor Watts, later Spontaneous Music Ensemble and Amalgam (2). It was at this juncture that Anson began to call himself Phill Kinorra in honour of his favourite jazz drummers - Phil Seamen, Tony Kinsey and Bobby Orr.
