The Phones Sportsman Band

David Barrington aka Phones Sportsman was a founder member of '70s UK punk band Swell Maps. He released one solo single in 1980. He didn't produce another piece of music until 2008 when he brought out two CD albums on the Topplers label. A few years ago Phones sold his instruments, intending to retire from the music business. However the 2020 pandemic brought him back into the studio with The NoMen and Maps colleague Jowe Head for a brand new album. He has worked as a geologist since the 1980s.
