Pete Coe

Pete has been a professional musician since 1971, playing at festivals concerts, clubs, dances & schools throughout Britain and has performed at the various folk song and dance venues in and around Guildford since 1973. He has been a frequent guest at the Music Institute and we?re delighted to welcome him back. During the ?70s Pete toured and recorded with Chris Coe, was a member of the legendary ceilidh ?supergroup? 'The New Victory Band' and, with Nic Jones, Tony Rose and, again, Chris Coe he was a member of 'Bandoggs'. In the late ?80s and early ?90s he toured and recorded with 'Red Shift' but since 1985 he?s mainly worked as a soloist and earned an enviable reputation. Pete has one of the finest voices on the folk scene, is an accomplished musician (stringed and squeezebox instruments) and a fine step dancer to boot. He is also a researcher of folk song and has a rich and varied repertoire of material from around Britain in general and the midlands in particular.
