About Me

pete briley was raised for the first eighteen years of life in maidstone, kent. midst the angry young people in cheap sports wear and the middle class suits that walk around the small, insignificant town during the day, he sought to find a sound.

as the first eighteen years drew to a close, pete decided to re-locate to the north of the country and live in the fair city of leeds, west yorkshire. between the four walls and ceiling, pete began to write music as he had done in that far away town at the bottom of the country.at the dawn of pete’s third year living in the north, he continues to explore expressive possibilities within music as well as keeping an eye on the space between the dark, dingy and dirty and the centred, clean and clear.peace and love.*Pete Briley endorses:Yamaha acoustic guitars; Fender electric guitars; Roland midi tone generators; Kenton midi solutions; Hi-Watt and Trace Elliott amplification; Music Matters UK music retailers. to book pete briley for a show, email [email protected] or get in touch via myspace for any other general management queries email [email protected]

THE MAKING OF: Crepuscule With Nellie

Acclaim for Pete Briley:"what an amazingly confident and talented performer. He was a great on my show and performed flawlessly" - James Dean, KMFM, 105.6"Pete Briley is a sensible man - he moved north and decided to adopt Leeds as his hometown. He is an acoustic/folk artist who tells stories through his music. He's a modest chap, too, happily thanking Leeds City Council for the opportunity to take part." - Daniele Baron, The Leeds Guide"Pete Briley is a solo male singer and guitarist originally from Maidstone and now living in Leeds. His delicate lilting vocals show great potential and he is sure to be a hit with many acoustic music fans." - BYT 2008"lyrically excellent" - Neil Kingston, BBC Leeds/LSR"Pete Briley: Kent born singer-songwriter now based in Leeds, is quickly gaining a loyal following from the acoustic music lovers of West Yorkshire. His 3 track EP gives a quality insight, to both his song-writing skills and vocal delivery." - Paul Abraham, Leeds Music Promotions.com
