This one-man show will give audiences across the UK the chance to hear first-hand how a British railway worker managed achieve over 500 million record sales worldwide, becoming not only a producer and songwriter, but also an A&R man, radio DJ, and television presenter.

In 2005, he was awarded an OBE for his services to British music.
With an entrepreneurial spirit encompassing several of his biggest passions, another subject Pete will explore is his love and involvement in British Railways.
