He was in Goderich Ontario at the Celtic College and Festival in 2003, where he was honoured with their "Tradition Bearer" award.
He put on a week of really interesting classes which tended to grow each day as the word spread. It was a week of talk, tapes, film, playing and he even got up and taught us the "Hooley?" or whatever the dance is called, so he was in pretty good shape then.
Anyone who contributes SO much in their lifetime has to have pissed off at least a couple of people on their way. He is therefore in damned good company, pity the rest of us don't do half as much as the likes of Peter, way to go. So quit griping and go and further his work however you see fit, see how many people you can upset in your lifetime, compared to how many Peter made happy.
He will be missed, JohnB
