"We gave advice in its proper place,

Spending a lifetime in the task.

If it should not touch anyone's ear of desire,

The messenger told his tale, it is enough."

Musleh Uddin Sa'di, 13th c.

Sufi Poet

The Rose Garden

Pete Morton is a singer and entertainer with a wealth of self penned songs that express everything from the highly personal to the truly international.


Often referred to as an old time troubadour he delivers an unruly mix of humanism politics, love, social commentary and humour, all wrapping its way around the folk tradition.


Originally from Leicester, England, Pete discovered the acoustic music scene at 16, and has been on the never-ending tour as a folk singer songwriter ever since. 


With his powerful, euphonious voice storytelling and compelling stage presence he continues his merry niche, singing songs, peace, justice, open global inclusion, with a fun, loving and approachable style.


“...not only original, but a revelation.” 

The Guardian

“Pete is everything we want our singer-songwriters to be. Fiercely creative, proudly independent, skilful, talented, and terminally unpredictable"

MOJO Magazine.

"A writer who manages to express everything, from the highly personal to the truely international"

R2 magazine

"As a chronicler of the human condition and wry observer of history and the march of progress, Morton is up there with fellow Englishmen Richard Thompson and Chris Wood"

Glasgow Herald

"An independent spirit, an old school troubadour...he continues his merry niche"

Froots Magazine
