Born and raised in the English Lake District, Pete Ord is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer currently based in Manchester. Descended from a rich heritage of folk music, Pete began Morris dancing at the age of 10 learning the art and traditions of English dance and song from his dad. He began writing and recording songs in his early teens and went on to gain a BA (hons) in Music Production from Leeds College of Music. 

Pete is passionate about the English tradition and in particular his own Cumbrian heritage. In 2007 he began researching Cumbrian dialect songs and in 2010 he produced and released a book and CD of traditional Cumbrian songs sung by local legend Bruce Wilson. Pete learnt to sing traditional song from the local masters and his own performances move seamlessly between the traditional and the original. A finalist in the 2010 New Roots competition, Pete has gone on to perform in folk clubs around the country exciting audiences with his delicate and honest arrangements.
We are very excited to welcome a local lad. Come down and see him and get in touch if you'd like to do a floor spot.
