Pete
first picked up a guitar at the age of twelve when his parents brought
one back from their holidays in Spain. After hearing John Williams playing Asturias he fell in love with the sound and set about mastering the instrument. After many years of private lessons and night school he eventually got a chance to study at the City of Leeds College of Music. Finishing his studies at the Welsh College of Music and Drama he is now permanently based in Cardiff as a performer and a full time teacher with Cardiff and Vale Music Service. His proudest moment was getting the rare chance to play a Vivaldi concerto with the Rhonnda symphony orchestra. After having just played a successful concert of South American music in the Norwegian Church he is currently planning another concert of Spanish music at the same venue in the near future. |
