“A singer, guitarist and melodeon player of rare ability... one of the very best performers in the field of English traditional song and music”
Steve Winick, Dirty Linen (USA)
We're so chuffed to welcome Brian Peters to the club for the first time.
Brian Peters is one of the English folk scene’s great all-rounders: a compelling singer, a first-rate squeezebox player and a skilled guitarist. Brian is one of the country’s best anglo-concertina players and is just as good on melodeon, while he’s also internationally-known as a powerful singer of traditional Child ballads. Although best known for traditional folk songs and lively English dance music, Brian’s act is full of variety and also includes newer songs and tunes, plus wild squeezebox excursions into ragtime or blues. Add his energy and dry humour onstage, and you have a truly entertaining performer.
Brian has played most of the major folk festivals in Britain, as well as festivals in the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. In 2015 he will be touring the USA and playing at the famous Library of Congress, Washington DC. Brian is also in great demand as an instrumental teacher and workshop leader, and has recorded several highly-acclaimed CDs.
