PETE SCOTT - singer songwriter and musician

Pete Scott was born in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne. He started out singing in folk clubs and has gone on to perform both nationally and internationally. Pete, who toured extensively in the 70's and 80's supporting major names such as Lindisfarne, Janis Ian, Judy Tzuke, John Martyn and Richard Thompson, suspended regular gigging in the 90's to concentrate on writing and teaching, including contributing to a number of successful theatre projects. He combines his writing and performing with a successful career as a freelance music teacher. He’s worked in many diverse environments, including a two and a half year stint as resident musician in a high security prison.

Pete has released three solo albums plus his recent homage to Joe Wilson, 'The Day Of Life', which 'Get Rhythm' magazine have called a "regional classic". His latest album 'Talking to a Stranger' was launched in December last year. Pete's music has also been included on 'The Northumbria Anthology', a musical celebration of the North East of England's history and culture.
