THE PETE ZIMMER BAND

The band have been in existence since 1995 however the current lineup only came into being recently. Although, due to other commitments and the usual state of flux that typifies the whole band thing, the lineup is somewhat fluid, but I am fortunate to have the services of several fantastic musicians who dep as necessary. Both Pete and Martin have been writing songs for several years, and some of this material was put into the repertoire, usually being re-worked with Pete and Martin collaborating on each others compositions. This led to the formation of a songwriting partnership that has produced two dozen new tracks over the last couple of years. A typical set will include a mixture of covers and original material, depending on lineup, venue and how we feel on the night.

Pete Zimmer - (Vocals, Guitars, Blues Harp); Martin Ratcliffe - (Guitars); Steve Avery - (Bass); Al Sanchez - (Drums); You may also see the following in the lineup; Pete Wheatley - guitar Dave Kelly - guitar Maz Mitrnko - guitar Stu Ford - guitar Chris Brown - Bass Stu Lee - Bass Eddie Moohan - Bass Keith Allen - drums Tony Bayliss - drums Rickie Cochran - drums Dave Small - drums or some other equally fine players
