Barihunk Phil Gault came to us via this Twitter message

Twitter is becoming an increasingly popular way for us to discover new barihunks. The latest was the message from "Mike D" that read, "Hey @Barihunks check out my buddy @PhilGault: RT "Oh - have some @ClubNoir pictures!"

So, we checked him out. Lo and behold, here he is on Barihunks.

The pictures were part of a Valentine's Day concert put on by the Scottish Opera at the burlesque Club Noir in Glasgow. Other singers included bass Jonathan Sedgwick and tenor Adam Magee.
