Pete Quin was quite excellent when I knew him. Perhaps modern guitar technology will enable him to play a bit louder. But he was okay for my small club in the 70's and I saw him at a load of other places - The Prince of wales in tamworth, The Fitters Arms in Walsall.

He had beautiful guitars - a round shouldered epiphone and a gibson as I remember. he played ragtime really well. Much better than all those guys Stefan dug up from Holland and other places. Pete's stuff never felt strained - somehow it still sounded like guitar music, not piano music played at a stretch on the guitar.

His repertoire also incuded Jim Croce and a bit of Joni Mithell, and a song of his own called tonsilitis blues - very sophisticated. i'm sure he's only got better!
