Hi and welcome to petewatson.com! Hopefully you will take the time to check out my music, videos and comedy pictures as there is plenty of content to be found. You can read my biography by clicking the link below, but if you're here for music rather than reading, then all you need to know is that I'm a Pianist/Producer crossed with a Composer and Arranger, who has been known to dabble in Programming and Musical Direction! I've had experience in most modern styles of music, but I specialise in Rnb/Soul/Jazz/Pop genres. I play with anyone/anywhere that asks nicely (sometimes even if they don't!) from big name touring artists to corporate function gigs - I love to play and do it as much as possible! Enjoy the site and please sign the guestbook if you have time :)

Recent News
Spring 2008
I recently came back from Ukraine (Kiev) with the great vocalist and songwriter Skye Edwards who for many years fronted the Britist chillout band Morcheeba. We appeared at a large festival there in an airfield of all places (you can see some picture in my gallery) and played tracks both from Skye's first solo album "Mind How You Go," plus unreleased tracks of her upcoming album due out later this year. Skye also performs a few classic Morhceeba tracks including The Sea, Otherwise and Blindfold. We will be travelling to sunny Barcelona in July for a festival - somebody has to do these gigs in rubbish weather ;)
You can visit Skye's website here or click the photo on the right. Skye is planning to tour more towards the end of the year to promote the new album!
Please take the time to check out her new website which will be conintually updated with new songs as they are finished (there are currently 2 online now). www.samanthasanderson.com
Winter 2007
Winter will truly be freezing this year as I will be travelling to the far reaches of Eastern Europe and Russia with the awesome Vanessa Mae. We travel to Riga (Latvia) in early December and to Moscow nearer to Christmas, managing to pop by in Vilnuis (Lithuania) in between! Last time I was in Moscow it was -20C so I'm hoping that they will have a sudden heatwave and I can take my shorts and sunglasses...somehow I think not.

Winter 2007
In contrast to the freezing depths of Eastern Europe with Vanessa, I was supposed to be in Brazil this week with Tunde Baiyewu (lead singer from the Lighthouse Family). After 5 days rehearsals we got news the gig is postponed until Spring '08 so fingers crossed it will all go ahead! The set included some of the Lighthouse Family classics (Lifted, Ocean Drive, High) mixed with a few tracks off Tunde's recent solo album.
Tunde doesn't currently have a website, but Amazon have all their CD's for your listening pleasure! (I'm not affiliated, I just take large amounts of money in return, always wrapped in brown envelopes concealed behind rubbish bins in dark alleys). Honestly.
Winter 2007
Over the past year I've been been working on and off with Natasha Bedingfield but this Winter I'm lucky enough to be MD'ing for her whilst Dave Tench is covering the Take That tour. We were in Bermuda and Toronto a few weeks back and have some upcoming shows in New York which should be great fun. Her album is just being released in the States and after her first album dominated the US charts it looks hopeful her new album will follow suit.
