Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

Murphy

We meet a musician with a fascinating true gentle artist’s soul.

After losing his job - and being told that this had happened because of the issues he has with his sight, our guest today Phillip Murphy - Murphy to those who know him - hit the road, guitar in hand and lived an itinerant balladeer’s life for nigh on eight years

Then, in a strange twist of fate, our hero found himself being swept up by the U.S. reality TV juggernaut that is American Idol

A strange collision between two very different worlds

So today we have the chance to get to know Murphy a little better and to ask him about what his American Idol experience was like and how things are going for him now.
