'He has a really good voice and he loves to sing and play a good, upbeat set. His enthusiasm just draws and draws you inside and then you're singing with him. He played some impressive originals. Excellent!'

HI AND WELCOME,,SUMMERTIME, even in London!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Born in Calcutta, India, with an English mother and Scottish father, Peter was brought up in London.
At school, he achieved persecution as a winner of poetry contests, the youngest ever to be in Shapespeare plays and failing auditions for the choir. He got out alive and with his new (2nd hand, cost £5) guitar became a song-writer.
He started performing in London folk clubs and at Tanner's Hatch folk festivals. He always sang in tune but usually in a different tune to the guitar.
Learned to sing and now gives professional voice traning himself. Amongst other achievements, his students have joined the top musical production company in Japan.
He formed and joined various acoustic groups and duos, from English traditional to American Bluegrass and 60s pop.
He joined various cover bands, as a singer, guitarist and bass player, performing professional and charity gigs around the UK. After this, he toured the USA for a year in a blues/rock band, playing his original material.
Co-founding the band Original Mind, with musicians from around the world, he toured Europe, including Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, France, Italy, having many radio and TV appearances, including Romanian Top of the Pops after negotiating a tank blockade around the TV station. In earlier days he sang his own song 'The Wall' from the back of a trailer in front of the Berlin Wall, accompanied by various fighting student factions.
A few years later he lived in Japan for 8 months, busking on stations, playing shows and getting to like sashimi.
There he composed new songs, inspired by Japan. These were recorded in London on two albums, Tokyo Time and Kaleidoscope.
For 6 months he was the resident musician at Director's Lodge, formerly Scott's of St James's nightclub in Piccadilly, London, an old haunt of The Beatles, Stones, Yardbirds etc. For 5 days a week, from 10.00pm to 3.00am, half hour on, half hour off, he played an eclectic mix of 50s Rock 'Roll to modern dance pop. A local paper reviewer likened him to Brian Ferry, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley.
He went on several tours to Japan with his CDs, meeting media and performing in schools, shopping malls, hospitals, restaurants, concert halls and living rooms.
On further visits to Japan he met with national and cable TV and major FM stations in Osaka, also doing half hour and one hour interviews on local radio all over the country.
As one half of the Duo 'Beatles Daze', he toured Germany for 3 months, playing pubs and clubs.
For the past few years, Peter has attended Midem and Popkom regularly, to represent artists, labels and himself. In 2005, he met with Yamaha in Tokyo and played several concerts in the Philippines and Micronesia.
In June 2007 he was one of the acts for a students olympics in Seoul Korea, playing nightly to upwards of 2000 people for a week. In September 2007 he played 40 minute sets of original material at the Sendai Jazz festival in Northern Japan and a large Peace concert at Yoyogi Park Tokyo in the tail end of a typhoon.
Recent shows include benefits for the Earthquke in China and African food relief.
Peter has composed over 300 songs and recorded 3 CDs. He plays acoustic guitars, bass guitar, Telecaster rhythm, harmonica and tenor sax.
