Pete's Words to the World:
"I would like to see a good Grade One band in England in my lifetime and hopefully in the next ten years (if my job as a part-time ***ologist doesn't get in the way :-) ). There is enough talent in England to achieve this if everyone playing at Grade 2 or 1 level got together. Well, anyone can dream!"
