27 May 04 - 06:12 PM (#1195413) Subject: RE: Info on Pete Quinn req From: Big Al Whittle 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! |

27 Jul 05 - 08:55 AM (#1529158) Subject: RE: Info on Pete Quinn req From: mrTibbs Do you mean Pete Quin (Ragtime legend) or Peter Quinn (mainly Irish influences). Pete Quin recently performed at Ampthill Acoustic Club and holds www.petequin.com. Pete explained the quin - quinn confusion and requested I correct Ampthills diary entry, which I did by replacing the 'coming up' notice with a short review and link back to his site. Hope this clears up some ancient confusion. Tony |
