Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Peter began his career singing in pubs. He got his first big break into show business as the support act for the legendary Fureys. Always the adventurer, Peter set out for Australia and soon began performing folk music and Neil Diamond songs around Sydney. During one of his weekly performances at Kitty O’Sheas in Paddington, Peter was asked to perform the music of Neil Diamond in a cabaret show, Idolz in Concert. Months later, Forever Diamond – Peter’s first tribute show to Neil Diamond – hit the boards and sent his career into overdrive. Peter began appearing on national television shows like Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton and The Midday Show with Kerri-Anne Kennerley.

When Peter first performed Hot August Night, as a 25th anniversary tribute to one of the greatest live albums of all time, he received a standing ovation from the 4,000 plus audience at the Sydney Convention Centre. The show has been since been performed every August in South Africa, the UK, on cruise ships all over the world, and in Australia at the State Theatre and Taronga Zoo, Sydney, Burswood Casino, Perth, and the Adelaide Festival.

Peter’s third show, His Life, His Music, is an extension of Hot August Night and pays tribute to epic albums like Hot August Night, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and the movie The Jazz Singer.

Peter’s talents have even been acknowledged by the man himself, Neil Diamond, and by Tom Hensley, Diamond’s pianist on his last Australian tour.
