The Pete Roe Band
Whether he's playing Folk or Blues, Piano or Guitar, solo or with his band, Pete Roe's ability as a great songwriter always shines through. Having played many gigs and festivals, including Glastonbury, last summer, and with an award for Venue Magazine's Roots Artist of the Year under his belt, Pete and his outstanding new band are developing a burgeoning reputation for themselves with their inimitable live shows.

His solo debut Propeller is an album about hope, loss and freedom.
Engineered by Jim Barr (Portishead), it features amongst many other great musicians Andy Lowe (Fortune Drive) on Bass, a song writing collaboration with chanteuse extraordinaire Beth Rowley and special guest appearances from the cream of Bristol's music scene.

Expect hair raising, instrumental mayhem from this eclectic quintet who are fast building a reputation for their exhilarating and intense live performances.
