"Guitar Legend"
What a guitarist! Albert Lee has played with the best and is probably ranked among the top guitarists in the world. Not only a great guitarist but a teriffic pianist and singer as well.
All that talent and he's a nice bloke with it!
His backing group (Hogans Heros) are something else - so tight and polished.
Thanks Albert for the picture - I'll treasure the moment and the concert.
Meeting a Vocal Legend
"King of Harmony"
Peter was lucky enough to meet up with Tony Rivers in Spain recently. The name may ring a bell but his legacy is stunning. It's easier to remember who he didn't sing with than the stars he did work alongside. Here's a modest list of just some of the artists he's recorded/performed with: Cliff Richard, Shakin' Stevens, Beach Boys, George Michael, Elton John, the list goes on and on and on..... Check out his Web site on the LINKS page for a full low-down. "He is one of the most friendly, down to earth musicians I have ever met. He's writing a book about his experiences so watch out for it - I've read it and it's a riveting read! Soon to be heading for a second edition in paperback in Summer of 2018.

Peter meets
Brian (Licorice) Locking
Being a Shadows fan from the early days of forming the Confederates in 1961, Peter jumped at the chance of meeting and chatting to Brian at the Lakeside Country Club's Celebration of the Shadows weekend in 2015. A nicer person you couldn't meet. He joined the Shadows in 1962 after Jet Harris left. He himself then left in 1963 and was replaced by John Rostill.
