Arriving at the airport on a cold damp winters day all our friends are gathering to watch mighty saxon play A short flight into Dusseldorf full of pre xmas cheer the forum in good voice aided by stansteds finest beer Santa hats and police helmets the biting wind is raw singing on the underground were the strong arm of the law Standing in the crowd that night 20 strong maybe more air guitars our voices hoarse The wheels of steel encore A cheeky nap upon the bus the petrol station lager coffee in the morning to face the ryan air saga And so its onto Manchester to London,Wolverhampton too it may be 18 months or more it feels like a day or two Fingers leads us to the front through the saxon hordes t shirts ,denim, leather chainmail even swords True friends are always together though many miles apart its more than music and culture you feel it in your heart So on this truely awful day i raise my glass to the sky to Pete ,a friend , a gent but even more a genuine nice guy Always loved never forgotten R.I.P.

I have already posted the statement below in the other thread but wanted to put it here as well. Thanks Graham for a wonderful tribute and for the memorial page on Facebook.
"I was very shocked and saddened when I heard the news about Pete. A lovely and genuine guy who made me smile and laugh no matter how I was feeling. A true Saxon fan, a fabulous entertainer who was always doing stuff for other people and a Gentleman. I'm very proud to have known him and call him my friend. My life will be a poorer place without him but knowing Pete made me a better person and I will forever be thankful to him for that. R.I.P Sir you will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time"

I'm so shocked and saddened to hear of Pete's passing. I first met him at the Forum meet up , August Bank Holiday, Horse and Barge gig in Harefield, 2011, and I liked him from the start!
![]() ![]() I last met Pete in Dec 2012 at The Gathering Rock Pub, Sutton Bridge, Lincs when him and Let there Be DC played the Gathering's Christmas party on December 15th. The band, and Pete, were on fire that night - they packed out the joint, entertained us all in true rock god style and we wouldn't let them finish until they gave us numerous encores .....!! It was a brilliant night and every single person who went agreed. I think i'm right in saying it was The Gatherings busiest night ever since they opened and the guys were re-booked immediately to return and play again there this spring. After the gig Pete came and spoke to me, gave me a hug and wished me well with my treatment. I've posted some photos below taken at the gig ... enjoy! My life is richer for knowing Pete, even if only briefly. His sad passing clearly illustrates that life is too short and we must grab every chance we can to enjoy it and live our own truth. Tonight I am lighting a candle for Pete to say thank you to him for reminding me of this. I will place it on my angel shelf at home and play one of my AC/DC albums right through, for him.... i know he'll hear it! Bless you Pete- Rock and Rest in Peace, Dawn xxxxxxx
