Peter Charles Macpherson

[Macpherson Brothers Music] [Members] [Gigs] [Discography] [Instruments]

Pete and Mike 30/4/2002 Peter's lived in the country for several years. His solo musical efforts from that time reflected his rural surrounds.

It hasn't always been this way though. A veteran of many musical projects in Brisbane (The Pits, MTTV, and Airborne Toxic Event) and Sydney, Peter has written an impressive collection of songs over the years.

One interesting act showcasing some of these was Figurine.

Peter performed in the re-formed The Pits during late 2003 and 2004.

There's yet another version of The Pits in 2006.

The Ancient Ways CD showcases a variety of genres mostly recorded during the 1980's and early 1990's.

The Christmas Present EP contains some musical reminders of his time at Galugaba (Central Queensland).

Now he's equipped with an acoustic guitar, a small recording studio and a CD burner. No one is safe from his music!

Naturally the internet is the perfect place to have a listen.

Gigs

Peter performed at a number of Bundaberg venues during 2002. For a time he was active in trying to start a regular live music venue in that city.

After returning to Brisbane, he performed at Australian Songwriters Association at Brunswick Hotel, New Farm, Brisbane a few times.

During 2003 Peter began organizing gigs for local bands at Melbourne Hotel, West End.

In 2004 he did the same thing at Jubilee Hotel, Fortitude Valley.

In February 2006 Peter duoed with John Willsteed at Ric's Cafe, Fortitude Valley. Although these two had often been on the same bill, it was the very first time they had played together.

In 2007 he did a few duet performances with Nigel Kimber.

There was a show at IMA Judith Wright Centre on 7 March 2008. Peter and band performed tunes from Airborne Toxic Event and Peter's later work. The song "Back on the Rock 'n' Roll" featured a reading by Irena Luckus.

Also on the bill that night were Ian Wadley, Eugene Carchesio, and Small World Experience.
