Making a return to the Northwich to play the iconic Salty Dog - Peter Bruntnell - last years gig at The Salty Dog sold out with a few weeks to go - and with a good number of folks already quizzing me over tkts it looks like 2027 will be no different...

Rolling Stone once declared Peter Bruntnell to be, “one of England's best kept musical secrets”. England has successfully managed to keep Peter Bruntnell a secret for all this time, even from itself. “Maybe this will be the album to finally give him the worldwide superstar recognition he deserves!”, enthused every other album review from the last 20+ years, with an admirably unwavering optimism. “If we lived in a just world, Peter Bruntnell would by now be in the middle of his third or fourth global arena tour,” said a feature in The Guardian in 2016. Needless to say, we don’t live in a just world.

Peter’s new album Houdini And The Sucker Punch garnered all the predictably pleasing praise of previous albums, going on to feature in a number of end of year lists, including being voted Americana UK’s No.1 Album of The Year and a Mojo Magazine Top 5 Americana Album of 2024.

“As with all of his work to date, Bruntnell’s strike rate is inordinately high, and how he has never gone beyond cult status continues to puzzle.”
THE IRISH TIMES

“taking a dive into psychedelia, the writing remaining consistently outstanding and beguiling”
THE GUARDIAN

“Too talented to stay the property of an avid cult, his sparky humour and uniquely British perspective are evident in the lushly-attended tunes here”
