About Pete
Pete began playing electric bass in 1988, self-taught for the first two years, he learned to play by ear on a fretless 4 string bass. It was not long afterwards that he progressed to 5 and 6 string fretted and fretless basses as well as double bass.
Pete studied music at Bass-Tech Acton with Rob Burns (BBC session player – Red Dwarf, Black Adder etc.), Musician's Institute Wapping with Rufus Philpot and finally orchestral double bass with Dominic Black (L.S.O.) at Goldsmiths University of London, where Pete studied for his music degree (BMus, Honours).
During his time at Goldsmiths, Pete also studied composition with internationally renowned composers such as Sadie Harrison and Rodger Redgate - learning much from their craft, and applying it to his own compositions, including a string quartet performed by the Kreutzer quartet.
Pete stayed on at Goldsmiths to study for his PGCE, achieving fully qualified teacher status in 2004, leading to various music teaching positions in secondary schools across London and Hampshire, up to GCSE and A level.
Pete has acquired a total command and virtuosic feel for all his instruments, as well as developing extensive techniques in all styles of music.
This has led to substantial live and recording studio experience with all styles of musicians, including gigs and recording sessions with Rock, Funk, Jazz, Fusion, Reggae, Blues, Covers / Function bands, sessions at EMI studios, numerous engagements for the Sternberg Clarke jazz agency (for British Airways, Sotheby’s and 9 days at Liberties), performances with the Goldsmiths Orchestra, as well playing for singer Patricia Quinn (Rocky Horror/Monty Python), and drummer Andy Gangadin.
