Press/testimonial

• ‘Pete is a natural collaborator and someone who fosters a sense of confidence and common purpose in his team.  Under his management (2003-7), course numbers at Brighton Institute of Modern Music expanded by over 1000% as the programmes he established became the core product of a company that now operates in eight cities across three countries.’

  Dr Jon Stewart, BIMM University, author of Dylan, Lennon, Marx & God (Cambridge University Press)

• ‘Anyone who’s fascinated by the extraordinary tempos and times of .. Conlon Nancarrow will appreciate Icebreaker’s phenomenal version.’

  David Bowie, Q Magazine

• ‘[Pete] obviously satisfies all the criteria for the [Professorial] role. He clearly has international standing and has performed at the highest levels. It is, therefore, particularly fortunate for Solent that as well as devoting his energies to performing, he has shown both a desire, leadership and ability to pass on his knowledge and skills to students at the University. Indeed, his NSS results would make most other institutions very jealous!’

  Prof. Ray Dawson, Loughborough University - Professorial External Reviewer

• ‘Pete's objective approach provided real insight into the [course data, and] allowed the senior team in the University to make informed decisions about the potential for further savings and the investment required in order to achieve forecasted growth. This was an excellent piece of work and was highly praised by the DVC (Senior).’

  Prof. Peter Lloyd, Dean, Faculty of Creative Industries, Architecture & Engineering

• ‘…unabashedly virtuosic.’

  Alan Kozinn, The New York Times

• ‘…furious precision’

  Roger Thomas, BBC Music Magazine
