Ep 47---

Welcome to our latest episode where we dive deep into the creative journey of songwriter, musician, singer and documentary maker, Pete Higgins.

In this episode, we delve into Pete's musical journey, from his early days of discovering music to writing and performing with bands like Bottle and the Canon Dogs. Pete takes us on a trip down Boyle's musical lane as we talk about the youth masses, the No Name Club and some of the great musical pubs we had in town. We'll also discuss his transition into documentary making, and what led him to create a captivating documentary about Boyle and its mysterious connection to UFOs, featuring the legendary Betty Meyler.

We talk about Pete's songwriting and the release of his solo albums. At the time of recording, he was working on album number 3 and, as timing would have it, he just released three new songs from the album so it's brand new material - Congratulations Pete! The timing couldn't have been better.
