Groover
I went to a wine tasting last night for no better reason than I was invited. The guy pictured was the live entertainment which was more than I was expecting. In fact it was possibly more than he was expecting because he did a couple of numbers and walked out. Apparently nobody was listening to him. Still he left us all a nice photcopy about him. Here are the first few lines:
Peter Molinari
Singer Songwriter
Born in Chatham, Kent
...and the relevance of that last bit is? No idea. There follows a one sentence bio of him but then we get to the real selling points. "Peter loves his work..." oh that's good then "...and has been in many bands..." "...In October 2003 Peter decided to leave his band and go it alone". Presumably for someone who holds the Chatham, Kent record for being kicked out of bands "go it alone" means playing to himself in the shower and not in front of an audience.
"Tonight you will hear a mixture of..." nothing. Silent Night? Can you play Long Ago and Far Away [please] Peter?
"We feel that you may find Peters music melodic filled with optimism and the titles and words of the tracks interesting." Hopeless punctuation and grammar. Anyway whoever wrote that should "feel" again as it was more like Songs Without Words. Or Songs.
If you want to book Peter, probably for a quite a short gig, you can contact his manager bruce.henman@btopenworld.com.
