Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you get to spend it with the people you love.
Peter is off overseas for a 6 week holiday, visiting Europe and the UK. Not taking his guitar this time! Just a meeting with a publisher of children's music in London but otherwise catching up with friends and family. Peter loves to visit London - he and his family lived there in the late 70s and it was at this time that he recorded "Music Time" - an educational music program for primary school aged children - for BBC TV. In England he's meeting up again with the other Music Time presenter, Kathryn Harries. Kathryn went on to become a renowned opera singer. Also meeting up with one of his favourite songwriters, Johnny Coppin. Johnny specialises in writing music for the poems of famous Cotswold poets. Peter sang Johnny's song "A Song of Gloucestershire" with his 4 children at a recent big family reunion party

Enjoying sharing music with children in country schools, south eastern Australia. Mr Clicketty Cane (nicknamed Wash Your Face in Orange Juice) still the favourite with primary schools children.
Just started the Great Ocean Road trip from Adelaide to Melbourne. Visiting schools on this tour. Today I was in Millicent, a lovely town in the south east of South Australia. I like singing in schools as the kids are focussed with no distractions. The environment is structured so the music has the maximum impact. Kids are very engaged and receptive. Singing is a really important part of the education process. Singing makes us happy.
On Wed Sept 9th I'll be setting off on a concert tour which takes in Millicent, Mt Gambier in SA and then along the Great Ocean Road to Portland, Warrnambool, Grovedale, Ocean Grove and Delahey - all in-house school shows, and then... 3 concerts at the Melbourne Fringe! BIG KIDS NIGHT OUT!! with the fast and furious Bellyflop in a Pizza band at the Fringe Hub - Main Theatre, Lithuanian Club on Sat night Sept 19 and then 2 school holiday matinees at the gorgeous Darebin Arts Centre on Sept 20 and 21 with the fantastic kids from Theatre Bugs. xPeter
