The Pete Walter and Band interview


Describe your music in three words?
Melodic, catchy, pop
Who are your musical influences?
Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Billy Steinberg, Billy Preston, Huey Lewis and the News
How has your band come together? (who knows who and how?)
I advertised for everyone except Gav (the bass player) who I knew through a mutual friend.
Who writes your songs or is it a collaborative effort?
I write the songs but the band have a key input on their parts and arrangement. Sometimes the song ends up sounding radically different from the basic format I bring to rehearsal
What do you hope for the future of 'Pete Walter and Band'?
Near future is we want to play some festivals next year, long term is to become a self-sustaining touring and recording band. We're already getting fans from Asia, Europe and the US so hopefully we'll get to visit some of them in the not too distant future.
Where are your favourite places to go out in London?
The Arts Theatre Club on Frith St is always fun. Bloomsbury bowl is becoming a bit of a cliche but for a reason. We all love secret cinema as well.
