Philip Heseltine

Philip Arnold Heseltine - better known as Peter Warlock - was born in London on 30 October 1894. His music is quintessentially English and came from a man who was both an introvert and extrovert, sadly taking his own life on 17 December 1930. His songs are of a special quality, reflecting the duality of his nature.
