A professional musician since 1971, during the 1970s Pete Coe toured and recorded with Chris Coe, was a member of the legendary New Victory Band, and together with Nic Jones, Tony Rose and again, Chris Coe, was in Bandoggs. In the late 1980s and early 1990s he toured and recorded with Red Shift, but in the time he’s mainly worked as a soloist – and 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 and the pulsing reeds of his melodeon. He’s also a country dance caller, creator and band musician. He sings, plays and step dances, sometimes all at once!
“One of the most important folk artists in Britain” – MOJO
“It may be easier and quicker to list the talents that Pete Coe doesn’t have” – Andy Kershaw, BBC World
