Well this has been an uplifting g read. Good to knowPeteris still alive and well and playing music . As everyone else has said what a great writer , very fine singer/performer too and a really nice bloke. Always willing to chart about his songs, answer questions, clarify lyrics and when not on stage in the years I saw him a few times, around 80-83 from memory, he sat in the audience, sang along, joined in the choruses and encouraged the floor singers. I first saw him at Redcar festival 80ish and soon after bought it's all right for some. Great record and used to do Joe Peel and Letter from Sunderland myself.I also loved Lark across the vapour trail. I recently heard Act of God at an evening of songs related to mining. Great song and locally resonant for me living in South Yorkshire as a miner's son. I'd love tocatch him live again or get reissues of his records.
