Bio
In 2009, after several years out of the public eye, Peter Green is back with a new band – Peter Green and Friends. Now seated centre stage, what is obvious is that the show revolves around him, and that he is in the company of notably simpatico musicians. Peter’s guitar and voice is shining once again. .... Peter Green and Friends is about the man himself enjoying the performance experience – this is not a Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac greatest hits band. Naturally, no Peter Green appearance would be complete without a few of his classic compositions, but now the focus is on fresh renditions of Peter's personal blues, R&B and soul favourites. The repertoire is an exciting, unpredictable mix and you can't help but notice him smiling and laughing in a way not seen for a very long time. .... Band leader, Mike Dodd has brought together a cracking group of musicians: keyboard ace Geraint Watkins (Van Morrrison, Nick Lowe, Bill Wyman), the cool stand-up bass of Matt Radford (Peter Molinari, Nick Lowe) and the blues-driven grooves of drummer and Andalucian resident Andrew Flude, plus the chunky rhythm guitar of Mike Dodd. All are there, first and foremost, to provide keen support to the great man himself.  .... (text by Martin Celmins, Peter Green's official biographer) ....

Influences
The Peter Green Story is well documented and needs little repetition here. .. This is the man who, at the age of 19, took on the ‘Clapton is God’ mob when he replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and soon won them over. .. Then a year or so later he started one of the most successful bands in rock history – Fleetwood Mac. .. Since then, legends like BB King and Carlos Santana have expressed huge admiration for Green's playing finesse and unique interpretation of many blues guitar styles. .. ......
Sounds Like
...... .... Audience feedback from Summer 2009 performances: .... “The place was packed. This is the real Peter Green…..like I always wanted to see him, and now finally, I have.” ..(Dingwall’s, London. 12th July 2009) .... “This is not a comeback. This is a beautiful person, a great artist, a genius. A soulful musician live on stage…this wasn't just a concert. this was a great experience.” ..(Batschkaap, Frankfurt 15th June 2009) .... “To see a genuine legend at such close quarters was a real privilege. The fact that this newly-rejuvenated Green is getting back to his best, just made it all the more special.” ..(Moles Club, Bath 2nd September 2009) .... ......

Im coming back UK way soon after travelling with my acoustic across the Globe. Looking to get some gigs, if anyone is up for helping. Have a couple of tracks on my site from my new acoustic album(the covers are just a bonus) recorded in the suburbs of Metro Manila. Many stories to tell, but trying to get my diary filled before I leave the Phillipines. Email me for more details. (I travel far and wide so don't worry if you are out in the sticks I will come to play if you like live music. could end up being a great little UK tour) take good care all. Much love, abbo
