PHIL MANZANERA

'Phil Manzanera' (born Philip Targett-Adams, 31 January 1951, in London, England), is an English guitarist. He played with Quiet Sun, then Roxy Music.
He was educated at Dulwich College. Known for a groundbreaking punk-like guitar tone early in his career, he later incorporated his Latin roots into his guitar phrasing. He went on to form the band 801, which included in its repertoire a number of Roxy Music and Eno classics.
The track "Wish You Well" on Manzanera's recent album ''6PM'' consists of a tribute to Ian MacDonald.
Phil Manzanera co-produced David Gilmour's album ''On An Island''. Within Gilmour fan circles he has gained the nickname 'El Magnifico'.
Manzanera appears briefly playing a guitar solo in ''Red Dwarf'' series 6 episode "Psirens". Only his hands appeared playing the guitar, and his credit on the Internet Movie Database lists his role as "Hands of Psiren Lister". [1] On screen he is credited as "the hands of Phil Manzanera".
