He enjoys Black Coffee, Pork Pies, Disco and watching Grand Designs...usually in that order.
Just like the lads, Peter is also a Rose Bruford trained actor-musician. He's performed in productions of all different scales, shapes and sizes - from no.1 UK tours such as The Commitments and Beautiful, to playing a reindeer for an audience of 12!
This is Pete's first venture full venture into the world of producing. He’s very excited indeed to be making his producing debut in such kind, esteemed and silly company!
He manages the “Open Book” project for Theatr Clwyd, which aims to break down boundaries between freelancers and theatre’s grown-up rooms, like board meetings.
He also runs a friendly tax service for creatives and the self-employed, called TaxBackandCraic.
He is from Kilkenny, Ireland and lives in Cardiff, Wales. Maybe he likes road signage in a different language, we’re not sure.

BEverly
Beverley loves nothing more than to bop things with her hammer. Those getting bopped however, are not always best pleased, as Auntie Pat has warned her: "If you doesn't stop your bopping, you will turn into a Goon"
Can Bev learn to channel her favourite pastime into something that works for all? Can she fight the temptation to bop what's right in front of her? Will she manage to restore her friendships before the Christmas Bazaar?
Bev Bov Fixes Christmas is a relaxed Christmas show for 3-7 year olds. It's packed full of original pop and funk songs, puppetry and plenty of interactive audience fun!
