These days you’ll most often find Peter driving the beat for three powerhouse live acts:

Blondie – In The Flesh Tribute – capturing the punk-meets-pop spirit of Debbie Harry and Blondie’s timeless hits.
Skylark – a tight five-piece delivering a killer mix of pop and rock anthems from the 70s through the 2000s.
Fundamentals – Mental as Anything Show – celebrating one of Australia’s most beloved bands with energy and authenticity.

Career Highlights:

I cut my teeth in the 80s and 90s Sydney live scene, gigging with Finger Guns and The Mustard Club.
Performed in numerous 50s–70s cover bands, which has helped me to build a deep musical vocabulary.
Spent the mid-80s touring Queensland in a high-energy **Elvis show.
Recording sessions with The Wiggles in the late 90s on their first Christmas album and movie soundtrack, projects now woven into Aussie cultural history.
In recent years, I've anchored acts like The Rock and Soul Review and Wild on Woodstock, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some of Australia’s finest players.

Whether on tribute stages, in recording studios, or behind the kit for original shows, I bring groove, precision, and decades of live experience — always keeping the heart of the music alive.
