Pete and I first met at the Northern School when we were very, very young. He was a like a breath of fresh air when he arrived - his voice shaking the old place to the rafters when he launched into Ridi Pagliaccio in the Common Room. I feel as if we grew up together in those college years - singing in so many concerts around the place and in Freischutz and then the Dream at the new college - he said I was one of the lads - I took it as a compliment. Then came the Opera North days - oh so many happy memories. I can't believe that Pete is no longer inthe world - I hope he is shaking those clouds up there. La commedia è finita - here - but not up there. My thoughts are with Marie and David xx Bless you Pete for making life such fun x
