Another video from the Genoa Poetry Festival is now on the SSOS YouTube channel. We have edited out the, ahem, convoluted introduction as it was three times longer than the reading of the poems…

Video of Peter and friends performing “Maybe So” on Spanish TV show Musical Express in 1982, has been added to SSOS YouTube channel.

Words and music written by Peter (using a Roland Jupiter 4 on ‘arpegiator’). The band that Peter assembled for the show included Tim Hinkley (keyboard/vocals), Gary Brooker (piano/vocals), Bobby Tench (guitar/vocals), Mel Collins (sax), Boz Burrell (bass/vocals) & Mike Giles (drums). This was the only time that Burrell & Giles ever appeared on the same stage . . .

Here is the third in the series of Genoa recordings by Franz Soprani, with Peter reading ‘Closer to Believing’. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to be notified of more videos coming soon.

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 hopefully will be a hit.

As you may know Andy & Peter 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.

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.

This new picture, taken by Peter last winter, called “Mandarino” has been placed in SSOS photos.
