Pete Atkin
The Pheasantry, SW3 4UT , [Venue Details]It was in 1967 that Pete Atkin met Clive James, the late legendary Australian writer and broadcaster. Almost immediately they started writing songs together in what turned out to be a lifelong collaboration.
Their songs were always entertaining, surprising, and memorable – “funny, sad, beautiful, true” was Stephen Fry’s memorable description – and Pete is back once again at PizzaExpress Live Chelsea, along with the brilliant pianist Simon Wallace, to entertain and surprise us with a new collection of old favourites and… unexpected items!
Pete Atkin was born a long time ago in a Cambridge family that had no connection with the university, and in 1967 met Clive James, then an Australian post-graduate student, who loved songs almost as much as Pete did, and who was looking for someone to collaborate with in writing them. When they left university they found a publisher who was foresighted enough to invest in getting Pete to make some demo recordings of their songs, which were eventually released as an album, Beware Of The Beautiful Stranger.
