Pete Coe

Event information

Pete has been a professional musician since 1971, playing at festivals concerts, clubs, dances & schools
throughout Britain, Europe, Asia, New Zealand & USA. During the ‘70s he toured and recorded with Chris Coe,
was a member of the legendary New Victory Band & 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 & earned an enviable reputation.
His strong, distinctive voice is enhanced by his instrumental versatility, the ringing strings of his bouzouki, the
sweet chords of his mountain dulcimer, the plaintive frailing banjo & the pulsing reeds of his melodeon. He's
also a country dance caller, creator & band musician. He sings, plays & step dances, sometimes all at once!
"It may be easier and quicker to list the talents that Pete Coe doesn’t have."
