Members, past and present

Ph.D. were a British group best known for their UK Top 10 hit "I Won't Let You Down" in April 1982, which had been a hit the previous year throughout Europe. The band took its name from the initial letters of its three founding members' surnames: Phillips, Hymas and Diamond. The name was written as Ph.D. so as to be a visual pun on the letters denoting the degree of the same name.
