Pete Smith

Thirty five years playing experience has made Pete Smith an extremely versatile and accomplished musician. Jazz, Blues, Folk, Ragtime, Calypso, Baroque and Bluegrass all get treated to his blistering fingerstyle technique and become playgrounds for his lightening improvisational skills. Rated as one of the UK..s finest guitarists he has gained a national reputation not only as a phenomenal player but also as a teacher and story teller.
