GUEST,saro Obit: Pete Stanley R.I.P. (1940-2020) (47) RE: Obit: Petand he ale Stanley R.I.P. (1940-2020) 17 Jan 20


Pete, my father was indeed a 'British' Banjo Player. It was the Tennessee three in the 1960s and he did also perform alongside Clay Jackson who he initially met in Italy. Pete also performed many years later at the Lone Star Saloon in London with Donnie Gillie and also with a number of other musicians during that time. There is also indeed a you tube video of dad at Galax, Virginia playing the Star Spangled Banner the national anthem. This was a 'very' special moment. The funeral service is on Wednesday 22nd January in Exeter Devon and there is also a Memorial Concert/tribute planned later at Cecil Sharp House London for 16th May 2020. Details to follow. We also are planning to show a collection of photos and memorabilia throughout Pete's long career from the late 50's onwards to view at the concert venue.
