If you run a folk club or are involved with Village Hall entertainments; if you are a teacher or a librarian or if you may be interested in using Pete in any way, as either a musician or a storyteller, whilst he is in your area then please don't hesitate to get in touch. He's always willing to consider opportunities and to do a deal on fees, particularly if it's a 'good cause' or something different and interesting.
