Take a quick peak at my latest project
The Ghost Of A Sailor...
Pete Morton is a singer and entertainer who is often referred to as an old time troubadour. He delivers an unruly freewheeling mix of storytelling, comedy and song that weaves it's way around the folk tradition. His current show 'The Ghost of a Sailor's talking blues' is a joyful ramble through time (not necessarily in the right order), in the style of the talking blues, as well as unleashing popular singalong chorus from the last 400 years. Read about the new show here: www.petemorton.com/talking-blues
Pete is known for his songwriting skills. He has recorded a wealth of material over the years. His final two albums 'The Golden Thread' and 'Fair Freedom' are available here.
His most famous song 'Another Train' has been performed and recorded by various artists. Here is Sally Barker's version.

Originally from Leicester, England, Pete discovered the acoustic music scene at 16, and has been on the never-ending tour internationally ever since. With his powerful, euphonious voice storytelling and compelling stage presence he continues his merry niche, singing songs and entertaining with a funloving and approachable style. More biography information and Discography here:
“...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"
