Blocking the sunlight
The self-righteous sycamores
Unpleasant as gulls.
New haiku added to poems section.

Another clip from Peter’s reading at the Genoa Poetry Festival, a poem called ‘Don’t Hear of Much‘ written for the drummer Ian Wallace in 2002.
Sorry it’s taken a while, but here is the first of a series of clips taken from Franz Soprani’s filming of Peter reading at the Genoa Poetry Festival in June 2010. More to follow…
Song Soup on Sea is proud to announce that Peter has once again teamed up with songwriting partner Andy Hill and completed lyrics to what we hope will be a hit for a renowned singer in the UK.
They have written songs which have been recorded by Celine Dion, Cher, Diana Ross, John Waits, Barry Manilow, Bette Midler & Bucks Fizz and others. Some of which can be seen on the video page. A new photo of Peter & Andy has been added to Pics of Peter in the gallery.
We will be adding some footage of Peter’s reading at the Genoa Poetry Festival soon.

Peter has just returned from his first ever public reading, at Palazzo Ducale, for the Genoa Poetry Festival. He would like to thank Claudio Pozzani, Carla and Cristina, and the rest of the wonderful team for their kindness and craziness in allowing him to read (plus the surprises). He would also like to thank Max Marchini for his support and Franz Soprani for filming the event, part of which we will make available on the website for your delectation in the near future.
And now for something completely different… a short abstract piece which Peter recently “composed” and entitled Music For Impossible Cutlery.. plus its accompanying cover art which he “made” this morning, has been added to the Downloads page.
A month of no updates… oh dear, but we do have some exciting news for you. Peter is to be appearing at the Genoa Poetry Festival in Italy, this June. Dates to be confirmed soon.
Some of you have probably noticed that we are in the middle of updating the Song Soup on Sea gallery, the section of the website where you can find a miscellany of media related to Peter’s life and work.
Though not all the pages are up yet, we now have a gallery of videos.
Also the error on the comment box, about which which a visitor kindly notified us, has now been fixed. Expect more updates shortly…

Here is a mysterious animation by Michele D’Auria to the song Promenade the Puzzle, which is Peter’s favourite lyric written for PFM, also notable for the fact that our friend Jon Green used the title when he began this website way back in 1998.
Song Soup on Sea thought you might like to know that having been out of stock for 3 weeks over Christmas, the extended version of Still is now back in the shops. It has been joined by PFM’s album ‘The Manticore Years Anthology’ and to celebrate this we have uploaded some more tasters for you, namely, an alternative version of ‘The Piper’ from Still, and Live versions of ‘Four Holes in the Ground’ and ‘Celebration’ from PFM.
Peter is quite busy working on digitizing many years of demos from his work with Andy Hill, including a recording of the two of them (after several glasses of wine) finishing off Think Twice. Also expect a revamped photo gallery soon.
