Graduate of Leeds College of Music, Pete continued to pursue post graduate studies at the Guildhall. Played tenor and baritone in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (1997-99). He has run his own bands, played New York's Blue Note Club and Ronnie Scott's and supported Roy Ayers in 2004. His band Acoustic Ladyland was originally intended, as the name suggests, to be an acoustic improv band reinterpreting Hendrix material but has since become a distinctive, improv group with a contemporary rock'n roll attitude. Acoustic Ladyland won BBC Jazz Award Best Band 2005 and were also nominated for Best Album
