Well then, I guess I better give you a bit of a bio !!!
 

Name:-     Phil Stevens
Born:-      5th August 1958, Whyalla, South Australia. (Yep, that's 48!!!!)
Live:-        Carlingford, Sydney, Australia.
Work:-      Telecommunications Manager - Dairy Farmers Group
Likes:-      Computers, Music, Raging (when the fit takes me)
              

I have lived in approxiamtely 100 different places around this huge country of ours.  From Whyalla to Geelong to Wangaratta to Ararat to Melbourne to Sydney.  I spent the first few remembered years in Wangaratta in Victoria,  Had my 1st girlfriend there :-) How scary !!!
 

Then the family moved to Geelong, where I finished my schooling and took up a job with the PMG (now Telstra).

Form 1 - 1970                                                             Form 3 - 1972

During my High School years I did the odd experimenting with my school buddies :-) But Mostly got myself well and truly interested in music - I became a Bass Player.  That lasted for almost 23 years.  Played in mostly garage bands in my school days with a couple of "paid" gigs.  But it took until 1984 to get into a Band that actually earned money :-)  Frontrunners was formed by myself and the drummer Peter. I stayed in it for 9 years and in the end we were working 5 nights a week - and I kept my day gig going as well !!!!.  After 9 years I "retired" from live playing and got together with the old guitarist from Frontrunners - Greg,  We started writing and got 6 tracks down before I got the job offer that bought me to Sydney.  During the Frontrunners period I met Janet and we lived together for close on 10 years before the real me stood up and decided it was time to be ME!!!

                                                  
This was my "Rig" in the early days of Frontrunners                                    I was running wireless FM by this stage.

That's me up the back with the "Hair" !!!!

I moved into an apartment in South Yarra, Melbourne - not 1 mile (1.6ks) from the Gay "Southside" of Melbourne.  Along came a succesion of assorted "bonks" and would be boyfriends!!!!

Then I met and fell in Love with Paul.....  We were together for almost 10 years - we moved to Sydney together, went through 4 moves in Sydney and finally last November it was time to start a new chapter in our lives. Paul moved to West Ryde and I have now moved to an apartment in Holroyd.

                                            They had popped into my apartment to take me
                                                                        out raging or something.....

It is now 2006 almost 2007 and this year has been very full on - went to Poland and discovered that Irek is to be more than just a friend, he is the most wonderful man (there are some pics below :-) ). I also entertained his brother and boyfriend for a few days in which time I came to discover that i had a new family. My brother in law Darek, and his man Andy are so wonderful. I have now been to visit Andy several times this year - we have become brothers in arms in the battle to overcome immigration policy to allow us to bring our men to Australia. Well we have only one last hurdle to get over and it is in the hands of the gods. But through it all we have become the best of buddies ;-) Thanks Andy - you are a treasure :-)
Well I am now in the process of preparing for the arrival of Irek, I culled a lot of old things when I moved from the big house at Carlingford to this apartment in Holroyd. Irek and I will be furnishing the place once he is settled in. We have a lot to do apart from furnishing there are a lot of people for him to meet. We are in for a busy few months to finish off an amazing year. Anyways - Keep Smiling and be Happy ;-)
