In addition to his many solo engagements, Peter also has his own jazz trio (The Peter Gill Jazz Trio), a 50s and 60s rock 'n' roll band called STATE 51 and The Peter Gill Dance Band which is available from a four piece to a seven piece band - a highly professional function band perfect for corporate functions, weddings and birthdays where only the best in live music is required.
Peter released his first solo CD in January 1999. Entitled 'Simply .... Peter Gill' it highlights the lighter side of his music and it was as a direct result of the release of this CD that SONY invited Peter to play for them in Seville, Spain in February 1999.
In April 1999 after a nationwide search for the U.K.'s best boogie woogie piano players, Peter and fellow piano player Adrian Dixon opened Birmingham's Jam House along with co-owner Jools Holland and his orchestra. Peter and Adrian thrilled the capacity crowd with their high energy 'duelling pianists' routine and have subsequently gone on to create a national excitement with their stage and after dinner show.
In 2002 Peter started hitting concert venues with his "Evening of Rhythm and Boogie" - 2 hours of sheer foot-stomping delight featuring a fusion of rock 'n' roll, boogie woogie and blues. Featuring on stage with Peter are friends that illustrate the best musical talent in the country - Graeme Budd and Gilly Lodge on saxophones, Mike Croshaw and Paul Newman on guitars, James Linton on bass and Martyn Alsop on drums plus the occasionaI 'special guest vocalist'. The concerts were a great success and the show is now being touted for a European tour.
2003 saw a lot of exciting developments. In May Peter's first CD single was released - a charity single intended to raise much needed funds for The Bristol Children's Hospital - a hospital Peter feels personally indebted to after they successfully treated his son Ethan for complications following an appendectomy.
The best in piano based live music, look no further than Peter Gill. Professional and experienced there are few busier musicians and none who give more to a performance.
Whether in the U.K. or abroad Peter is looking forward to entertaining you.
