PETER (BASS & ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS)
Peter joined the band in the Autumn of 2001 and his youthful looks belie the fact that he is now 27 years old. Peter trained on Classical Guitar but after completing grade 5 he moved to Bass Guitar and he has stayed with this instrument since his teenage years, becoming an accomplished bassist. Peter has concentrated his efforts on playing original material over his playing career to date and his band Locarno has received record label interest. He has played many named venues in London such as Cairo Jacks, The Garage and Sound Republic and has completed numerous recordings and studio sessions. Being brothers with close family ties, Peter and David had been looking for an opportunity to play together for many years and when the Bass position came available, Peter was the natural choice for Quest. Peter has a great appreciation and love of all music. He has many influences but his greatest influences of all are undoubtedly the Beach Boys and The Beatles. Peter is a very melodic bassist
and he sites the music of James Brown and the Motown bassist James Jameson as key influences on his playing style and of course Paul McCartney.
