PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
It all began in the 1970s with a love of pure pop that hasn't gone away.
Through the 1980s Peter played keyboard with members of Thin Lizzy, Cat Magic, Kick, Mirror Freak, Papa Hobo, and many Dublin pop and blues bands.
A move to New York in 1990 opened up a world of opportunity and he soon found himself writing award-winning soundtracks for the earliest multimedia CD-ROM games and interactive products.
Returning to Dublin in the mid-90s Peter slipped back into the Dublin live blues scene.
Since summer 2007 Peter has been navigating the Dublin open-mic scene and hopes to begin playing his own shows in the Autumn & Winter of 2008.
When asked about the fact that he came to writing songs and solo live performance relatively late in life he says.
His songs deal with the subjects that pull at your heartstrings: love and loss, happiness in even the darkest hour. The songs talk about the frustration at our human limitations: the inadequacy of language, how we make it difficult for ourselves. And sometimes the songs are just about "...stuff....the stuff that happens and we never stop to ask how or why..."
