THE WORKS | RTÉ ONE | 18th December 2013 |

The late great musician and composer Philip Chevron, who sadly passed away in Oct 2013, is remembered here by fellow musicians and friends. Steve Averill, Pete Holidai, Gavin Friday, Eamon Carr and Cáit O'Riordan pay tribute to their close friend and celebrate his eclectic musical output and cultural impact in a piece for RTE's arts show The Works.

There is an article in the December 2013 issue of Gay Community News about Chevron's song Under Clery's Clock.

"In 1987, ex-Pogues member, Philip Chevron, who died this October, wrote a song that is a rarity: an Irish single with an openly gay theme. Cathal Kelly looks back on its genesis and genius."

Does anyone ever remember Philip addressing the question of where he took the name Chevron from does the statement from this article "Chevron – who possibly took his adopted surname from the jazz record label Chevron Records" have merit?


No. I seem to recall, but can't locate here Philip saying he took it from the oil company because it sounded ... strong...or ...sophisticated? Possibly quoted in the Carol Clerk book. I'll have to check my copy.


I recall he said he wanted to sound like a rich American...or something like that while booking hotels
