Although Philippe spent much of his life as a dancer with the Paris Opera and, later, the English National Ballet his first love was the guitar. He studied flamenco in Spain and knew Diego del Gastor, the great gypsy player.
Philippe grew up in Paris where he was neighbour and friend of Robert Bouchet. He owned two Bouchets, one a very rare flamenco guitar. Unfortunately they were stolen from his London home. If you ever come across either of these guitars (number 49 and 58) please contact me.
