Having become seriously interested in music at the age of sixteen, Peter went on
to study organ and piano at the Royal Northern College of Music. Following
graduation he took up the position of organ scholar at Liverpool’s Metropolitan
Cathedral where he remained for two years. On leaving Liverpool he established
his own teaching practice combining this with solo performing and accompaniment
work for which he is in great demand.
 
He is organist and choral
director at St. Bartholomew’s Church, Rainhill, a choir he established 14 years
ago which has toured to Rome, St Gallen - Switzerland and most recently
Ravensburg - Germany. In his day job, Peter works for Wigan music service (ITP)
as an instrumental tutor and accompanist, working also with Wigan’s Junior and
Youth Choirs. As choral director and accompanist Peter has worked with many
local northern choirs and has directed St Helens Choral Society since Easter of
2007, as well as accompanying Parbold Chamber Choir, a post he has held since
1999.
