A view from the Audience – Tim Darvell
A bold statement perhaps, but in 40 years of going to see this man perform live, this was the best acoustic performance I have ever seen him do. A master craftsman whose underestimated guitar playing has never been better. His voice was superb and the choice of songs over the two sets was just perfect. Anyone lucky enough to be going to see this tour is in for an absolute treat
A view from the Audience – Derek Rookley
Fantastic night at The Court Theatre. Mike Peters was on cracking form for a solo acoustic gig, belting out tune after tune for about 2 hours. Just a nod of his head had the whole audience singing and clapping along before bowing out in a blaze of glory. A great encore of where we’re you hiding then it was time to go home, I can’t believe the night passed so quickly, and I hope he returns soon, and brings the band with him next time
