There will be some footage here later. This was a last minute show, so it was posted on Peter's forum and everyone who could get there dropped everything and rushed out of the door to do so. Unfortunately a radio station apparently got wind of it and announced it on air, so there was a crew of paparazzi outside, and a lot of people who seemed thoroughly unfamiliar with his music inside, but who appeared to be keen on rubbernecking at "that bloke out of the tabloids".
Which was a colossal shame, as it's a very nice venue, and it was only a fiver in, and could have been a really lovely night. One of my friends got kicked in the head by a crowdsurfer - at an acoustic show. I give up sometimes. She's alright, mercifully, but that just shouldn't happen.
Peter asked the audience several times to step back, as one of our friends is a wheelchair user and was in danger of being crushed at the front. Unfortunately a lot of people took that as a cue to push forwards. He tried again, and the same thing happened. Meanwhile the venue security had to get onstage to keep people back. Gah. The regulars at these last minute shows all know how to behave appropriately, and when these things don't get publicised on air they are far more civilised.
So I really need to go through my footage and see if I can rescue anything - he played Breck Road Lover, which is very beautiful, and rarely played, and if that's at all usable I'll post it. Unfortunately a lot of what I filmed has loud chatter from people around me talking about needing to be in the office early for meetings. Or people just going "PeeePeeePeee!". And sometimes it's very hard to see Peter due to the bouncers having to be onstage around him. Anyway, I'll post anything that works later on.
