Jade Warrior never scored a hit single and it seems bizarre to think that anyone ever dreamed it could. Buried away on side two of its third album, however, "The Demon Trucker" not only has unexpected smash written all over it, but the words were large enough that the band's U.K. label Vertigo clearly felt the same way. One must sincerely regret there never came a day when a nation's pop kids were ordered to "throw their hands up to the ceiling, get out on the floor and stamp your feet with feeling." Or maybe they were, but only when Slade told them to. Coming from a band better-known for weird flute solos and complicated time signatures, the demand was possibly less compulsive. It's still a great song, though, one of the finest rock & rolling dance numbers of the age and, if the remainder of Last Autumn's Dream doesn't quite match those same pounding, resounding peaks, that's only because the band was busy elsewhere, piecing together some of the best-realized songs (as opposed to moods, scapes, and symphonies) of its career. By that token, then, Last Autumn's Dream takes a lot more getting used to than longtime fans might have expected; the funkily pretty "May Queen," the proto-Eno-esque "Borne on the Solar Wind," and the freaked guitar rage of "The Snake" all emerge out of nowhere to slice away at preconceptions, while even the "typical" numbers have atypical moments. For anybody just discovering Jade Warrior, Last Autumn's Dream is certainly the last of its truly essential albums; subsequent releases for the Island label have their moments, but they grow scarcer as time elapses. For anyone schooled in the delights of the first two LPs alone, however, there are things in here you might never forgive, like "The Demon Trucker." ~ Dave Thompson

"Guitars are people too" is Pete’s second CD and was released in March 2006. This CD sees Pete embracing many subjects close to his heart. The songs are all beautifully written both lyrically and musically and show Pete growing in both song craftsmanship and technical ability.Pete was born in Peterborough, England in 1958 and still lives in the area. His interest in music was severely dampened by school music lessons "I had the worst teacher in the world, sadistic and disinterested" recalls Pete. Then a classmate brought in an acoustic guitar and, once he'd had a taste of what could be done, he was hooked. Pete's brother John, had a few albums by Wishbone Ash, Yes and Black Sabbath but on hearing “Battle of Evermore”, “Stairway to Heaven” and a live version of “Mistreated” on an old valve radio, he knew this was something he had to do. The passion and energy of bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who and Deep Purple got into his blood. Pete's parents bought him an electric guitar, John rigged it up to the aforementioned valve radio, and he was away. He soon had his mates round banging home brew bins and making, it has to be said, a bit of a racket. He began coming up with ideas and was convinced they were the most original thing ever. In reality, as you'd expect, Pete's early material was rather naive, but the thrill of a song 'coming together' soon became addictive and no amount of effort was too much. He soon had a well-loved collection of guitars, a tape recorder and a dream that, given the right conditions, a song he'd created would be known by all. At 18, Pete joined a well-established local band and over the years played in many more. He still works with Tim Lillingston, a very gifted drummer from the early days (he can tie his own shoe laces!) They wrote some interesting and original songs but were disillusioned by playing grotty pubs and clubs. "It seems that some people are natural entertainers and love being in front of an audience, and I'm happy to accept I’m not one of them" he says. "I have some very good memories and I gained a lot of experience but I was always far happier writing and recording". Pete began listening more and more to acoustic rock like Jethro Tull, All About Eve, Mike Oldfield, and singer-songwriters like James Taylor and David Gates. Ian Anderson has also been a huge influence on Pete, both musically and lyrically. "I love the feeling that nothing is too much trouble, so much going on". Pete also greatly admires Steve Howe, Gordon Giltrap, Ritchie Blackmore, Mark Knopfler and Jan Akkerman, amongst many others. For Pete it was a dream come true when hard-disk multi-track recorders became affordable and he now spends much of his time in his studio (he has a very understanding partner!) Most of Pete's energy goes into creating the next song, learning new instruments, (mandolin, whistles, etc) and developing his mixing and production skills. The promotion stage is being undertaken by his partner Diane, in an attempt to develop his audience farther afield. Pete has a huge talent and his ability to paint a picture with words is incredible. He is able to convey ...
