Hello and welcome
to the Pete Scrowther website, created on the occasion of the release of my album “The Heart of the Song”.

Not a lot been happening
in the last year. Fairport released a DVD, "Fairport@Forty", combining a history of the band with their 2007 Cropredy performance. An excellent version of my "Hawkwood's Army" can be found therein.

There are also finally some UK dates to report for September. See "Concerts".

"The Heart of the Song" is now distributed in Switzerland by the excellent Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools) label, who specialise in folk and acoustic albums. Please visit their website for the best in Swiss based folk and folk-rock.

PJ Wright's solo album "Hedge of Sound" is now available and very excellent it is. Full details at Uncle PJ's brand new website www.hedgeofsound.com.

For information on current Scrowther projects, see Special.
