Pete has been a professional musician since 1971, playing at festivals concerts, clubs, dances and schools throughout Britain, Europe, Asia, New Zealand and USA. During the '70s he toured and recorded with Chris Coe, was a member of the legendary New Victory Band and with Nic Jones, Tony Rose and again, Chris Coe, he was a member of Bandoggs. In the late '80s and early '90s he toured and recorded with Red Shift but since 1985 he's mainly worked as a soloist and earned an enviable reputation. His strong, distinctive voice is enhanced by his instrumental versatility, the ringing strings of his bouzouki, the sweet chords of his mountain dulcimer, the plaintive frailing banjo and the pulsing reeds of his melodeon. He's also a country dance caller, creator and band musician. He sings, plays and step dances, sometimes all at once!
To open the evening, we will have a set from Wickenwood, folk balladeers base their sound around harmony driven vocals, backed up by guitar, bouzouki and fiddle. Their passion for history and folklore takes them around the country, drawing song writing inspiration from the people, tales and legends of the places they visit.
