Brian Peters is one of the English folk scene's leading solo performers. He's a compelling singer, one of the country's best anglo-concertina and button accordion players, and a skilled guitarist as well. Brian Loves traditional songs and specializes in the Child Ballads, but he has an eclectic repertoire with plenty of variety, also including lively jigs and hornpipes, newer songs, and occasional squeezebox wildness. His stage act bristles with energy and wit.
Brian has toured the USA many times, appearing at Old Songs, Champlain Valley, Pinewoods Camp and Augusta Heritage Center, as well as folk music societies, coffeehouses and squeezebox workshops too numerous to list. He often performs together with the wonderful Connecticut singer, fiddle and banjo player Jeff Davis, and we are lucky enough to have Jeff joining Brian for part of his performance.
