A compelling singer, squeezebox ace and guitarist, with traditional songs, ballads and tunes, and who knows what else.
We had a lot of snow-outs last year to be rescheduled, but Brian Peters was volcanoed out--the ash from the Iceland volcano made it impossible for him to get here last year, so we've rescheduled him for this February!
Brian Peters is one of the English folk scene?s great all-rounders: a compelling singer, a top 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 singer of traditional ballads. He delivers a repertoire of startling variety, so alongside those classic songs from the tradition, and lively English dance tunes, you can expect to hear newer songs, his own instrumental compositions, and wild squeezebox excursions into ragtime or blues. His stage act bristles with energy and wit.
Brian has played major folk festivals in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada, as well as touring extensively in Europe. He?s collaborated with many British and American musicians, is in demand as an instrumental teacher and workshop leader, and has recorded several highly-acclaimed CDs.
?A singer, guitarist and melodeon player of rare ability?. an unusual repertoire, and unusual conviction in singing it? Dirty Linen
