After years on the road, touring around London and the Southern UK, it was time to play at home on The Isle of Purbeck again.

So the ideal venue in Purbeck to play is The Bankes Arms Purbeck Beer Festival in Studland. Playing to over 1,000 people at lunchtime is a great feeling. I played a lively set to get the audience going for the day, with the help of Paul Graham on sound.

As Clive Connor says “A Top quaint traditional pub, with great sea views and real ale from its own Isle of Purbeck Micro Brewery”

The Concorde Club, is a members club in Eastleigh, Hampshire. Established in 1957 the club boasts an excellent restaurant, wine bar and hotel lodge. World famous for jazz.

The Club is a beautiful landscaped location and live music venue, nestled near Monks Brook with terrace and gardens near the airport…a really charming place to play music.

‘Moldy Fig’ has its origins in jazz and was a derogatory term used by ‘be bop/modernists’ for enthusiasts of New Orleans and earlier forms of jazz. The walls make interesting reading with pictures of the great jazz names who have appeared at the Concorde Club.

this is a Bemisian, a semi-Bemisian and a Pyrate singing an irish ballad in a beautiful theatre, having never played together before…..on an amazing night in November. Ahhhhh…..memories Pete Christie David Gallows Richard Leo of Bemis, sing ‘Black Velvet Band’

An evening at New Theatre Royal in Southsea with some of the best Folk Festival acts in the UK.

Also featured on this amazing bill was Paul from regular festival headliners The Men They Couldn’t Hang.  Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs, whose tongue-in-cheek comedy, Rock’n’Roll Skiffle and Skunk Rock are sure fire hits with any audience.

Pete Christie – Anglicana Acoustic Rock

About

Pete Christie is a powerfully melodic and intelligent, lyrically diverse and thought-provoking singer-songwriter, and an extremely accomplished and versatile acoustic guitarist.

From his first professional group, The Skavengers, a dynamic 3-piece ska/rock outfit that began life in 1979, through to his stunning and critically acclaimed new album ‘Frank’ probably the epitome of his current solo acoustic work, Pete has proved to be a consumate songwriter, singer, performer, and entertainer.

Distinctive vocalist.

Finger-style guitar technique varies from near-silence to a multi-layered wall of sound.
