User:Pete Campbell

Peter Campbell was born 4th May 1950, in Sydney Australia and raised at North Ryde until 16 years of age. Pete married during the 70s and separated 30 years later to explore his music more thouroughly. While Pete has worked as a casual singer/guitarist during his life he had no musical history of note in Sydney but since moving to Tasmania in 2001 he has written new songs and is performing more regularly. For several years Pete played in a Rock and Blues duo with the late Tom Moffat on keyboard.

Since 2001 Pete has lived in the small southern Tasmanian town of Cygnet where he is known for initiating the local folk club and performing music at various venues. Pete now plays solo gigs, occasionally accompanied by flautist Brian Owens, and at times accompanies good friend singer/songwriter Robyn Cheyne on guitar and backing vocals.

In december 2009 Pete released his CROSSROADS CD. The album is a collection of original songs and a good example of how modern technology supports independent artists. Pete wrote the songs and recorded them at home. He also took the cover photos with his mobile phone and produced and designed the Finished CD singlehandedly in his own loungeroom.
