After hearing ‘In The Air Tonight’ when he was just 12, Pete decided to learn the drums and promptly joined his parent’s band, an award winning country music duo. As his father is an accomplished guitarist he couldn’t avoid learning to play guitar and also piano along the way.
In 1999 after being encouraged to apply by many people Pete appeared on ITV's ‘Stars in their Eyes’ as Phil Collins and made it through to the final where he received over 202,000 votes.
He has since appeared on stage at many great venues including Birmingham NEC, London Palladium and The Grosvenor house hotel ballroom in London.
Musical influences: Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Paul Carrack and his Dad (Ray Brett)

Chris started playing in local bands at 16, traveling up and down the country in the back of a van like most musicians. One band even included our very own Pete Bultitude on drums and vocals before his Phil Collins era. Chris became full time when he moved abroad doing summer season work, performing in hotels, holiday centers and ships etc. He is pleased to be back on the road again and playing with a fully live show, but not so pleased to occasionally share hotels rooms with Pete (see You Tube link on home page).
Chris has been a fan of Phil Collins since the ‘But Seriously’ album, and is thrilled to be playing all these songs live alongside a great bunch of peeps and his mate Pete.

Been a round a bit, done quite a lot, just loves playing and putting together mammoth projects. This is without doubt the finest project Tim has been involved with, the people within the band fit so well together both on and off stage and so it’s a real pleasure to make this project happen. |
