Liverpool music hero Phil Hayes has been reported missing by Merseyside Police.

Phil founded the iconic Picket venue which played host to The La’s, Elvis Costello and almost all Liverpool greats as it forged its reputation and cemented it in Scouse musical folklore.
Organiser of inner city Liverpool festivals, 11-date Hillsborough support gigs, father of three children, musician, Phil was the heartbeat to much of Liverpool’s grassroots music community.
Phil has been open about his struggles with mental health but has been rebuilding his life in recent times with art exhibitions and appearing at various music events.
