Peter Katona

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 07:41:17 +0000

The uniqueness of Peter’s performance is his ability to play the walking bass, and harmonies accompaniment with his guitar on top of singing and scat improvising. Having studied classical music in his native Hungary for many years Peter abandoned Bartok for Beatles on leaving University and formed his own band playing his own music.

A growing interest in Jazz prompted the development of his current style which is an unusual combination of walking bass and harmonies on guitar while singing lyrics or scat, ideal music to make your special day that bit more special.

Peter sings classic jazz and pop standards in a simple style accompanying him on a much loved 50 year old Guilt T-100 guitar. He is always happy to learn new songs for you (at no fee) to add to his repertoire and will do all he can to ensure that his music matches your mood.

Whatever the occasion let his music make your day even more memorable.
