Help: Peter Price UK bluesman info?

A week or so before I arrived in Kalymnos this year a British (E.Midlands-based?) blues man called Peter Price spent a day in Emborios. Having heard George (Yorgos) play he came back with his guitar (or borrowed one of George's) and they jammed together. He left George a copy of his CD "Big Road Blues" CM1,which I guess is self-produced. George was impressed and the couple of web references I've traced also give him a good press. Do any UK 'Catters know this guy's work. Has anyone turned up a home page or source of the CD? I haven't so far (but haven't had much time this week) and of course it isn't on Amazon etc.
I should be able to get it through Ray's Jazz & Blues shop when I'm next in London but any quicker fix would be welcome.
Must get back to the training session...

Here's something from the low countries blues festival site.

PETER PRICE
(England) Hailing from the Liverpool area, Peter Price is a mesmerizing British bluesman whose songbook ranges from the Johnsons (Robert & Tommy) all the way to Piedmont and even Spanish & Brazilian guitar music. It is our pleasure to welcome Peter to Charleston; this is his first trip to America. Don't miss. (Thurs. Feb. 17, 5-7:30 pm: Mills House; also performing Second Weekend)

He's also got a link at the International Guitar Festival.

Sorry, it's not much.

Cheers!
Ian

Four years on I finally tracked Peter down. Various promising leads led to dead websites or non-responding e-mail addresses. Venues that booked him didn't pass messages on or supply contact details. I had another go recently and found he has a new website:
www.peter-price.com
we made contact, he replied and I'm finally getting the CD.
He clearly plays all over the country, well worth catching him.
