about |
Pete is a talented vocalist and guitarist with a wealth of experience playing in bands, duos and latterly, as a solo artist. He started his musical career at the tender age of 15 years playing guitar in the successful soul band Motovation. Pete was lucky enough to have played in the Cavern Club, Liverpool with the band and there is a named brick on the Matthew Street Wall to commemorate this event. Those were the days when the big names in music were playing one night stands in local town halls and clubs and Motovation were the support act to, amongst others, The Who, Joe Cocker & Rod Stewart - experiences Pete will never forget.
