LET'S TAKE IT FROM THE TOP

The book covers Peter's English childhood, then goes through the vibrant "Trad " jazz and Skiffle scene of the 50s, which altered British popular music for ever. This is followed by an in-depth review of London during the "Swinging 60s", written by someone who lived through it, with detailed descriptions of both the good and bad aspects of such a memorable time.

It covers Peters musical experiences on military bases throughout Europe, his cabaret work in Britain, and subsequent move to Bermuda, where he and Mary joined together for an amazing career.

Then came the move to Canada, with performances in leading resorts coast to coast for many years, in addition to Transatlantic and Caribbean cruises, festivals and fairs, arts councils, historical parks and so much more, making Peter's book an invaluable reference for musicians and others wishing to explore a truly significant era of showbusiness.
