Simon and Pete
Personal information
- About me
Pete and Simon met at a Source training meeting one Saturday, and immediatly realised that they had a lot in common, especially a love of live music! - Simon had some experience in radio production and presentation from a previous life and has done a lot of recording with various artists, and Pete is a living database of music information as well as being an accomplished guitarist.
With this combination, Inside Local Music was born!
We are here to make you aware of the fabulous selection of music available to you in the Source Area!
We also want to offer a stage for local performers to showcase their talents.

Pete's Bio : I was born in 1962 in the heart of Yorkshire. I grew up listening to the Beatles and remember being a little 'concerned' when my favorite happy, clean-cut, smiley Beatle John turned into a weird hippy with lots of facial hair. I got over this and grew up in the 70's which must be the most varied decade of music ever (we all think that about our teenage years tho' dont we!) We sang Slade songs and Womble songs on the way to scouts, po-goed to Sham 69, and did drunken John Travolta impressions to the Bee Gees. House music turned me right off, but it is with great pleasure I can now listen to Radio (ie the Source of Course) and hear good music again! LONG LIVE THE SOURCE!!
Simons Bio: Although I was born a day or two before Pete, my early musical influences were similar. I was bought up in Africa and have always lived and loved music. I have played drums since the age of about 12, and been in several bands. I managed the number two band in Harare, Zimbabwe for 2 years before leaving for the UK. My 1st radio experience was at the age of about 8/10 years old, where I constructed a very basic studio and broadcast from my bedroom to my mother in the kitchen (yes I know, but we all have to start somewhere!) - Whilst in London (end of the 70's) I founded Radio Y International (the internal broadcasting service of the London Central YMCA) - It was a fun station, and a number of currently well known radio and TV people started there! Sadly after 2 years producing and presenting, reality kicked in and I had to go and earn a living. Radio Y was possibly one of the first community radios stations and as such we all worked for free. I did no more Radio (except for a brief 6 months on Duchy Hospital Radio Service in the 80's) until I started with the Source. I have, however done a fair amount of recording with bands helping to make basic demos and a bit of sound engineering for shows etc. I have also worked in the production teams of several live music events.
