happy birthday to a man that inspired me and so many others, who we lost sooner than we'd like.
Pete was a unique being, who connected with people through his love for music and his kind nature. Back in 2021 we put on an event together at the Arboretum to celebrate music we both found uplifting and special.
Pete as ever pulled out all the stops with special designs and treats for all that stopped by including what he called a 'lucky record bag' with a free 45 in it, some written messages, and a pencil with the inscription 'love is the most important thing'.
This simple phrase stuck with me and the plan was to continue the journey with a series of regular events. Sadly that wasn't possible with the time we had.
I have tried to begin the continuation of this journey with the latest release on a label dedicated to Pete, love is the most important thing. We have also tried to pull out all the stops with some unique artwork from local artists and artefacts that some of you my recognise. Please give it a listen and buy a copy if you can afford. £1 from every copy of the record on bandcamp will go to - supporting charities that were close to Pete.
Anyway, here's a picture of Pete with his favourite tree, courtesy of
Thanks for everything Pete 💕
