Why this name?
I'm Big Peter White (look at the size of those hands in the photo to the left they make the Strat look like a mandolin). somebody else has the name Peter White (a quite well known Jazz guitarist), so it's Big Peter White.
Do you play live?
Now i play in the Pubs and clubs of Cumbria (The English Lake District). I play in a band called ASSAMARRA with fellow Soundclick artist Barney (Check him out, he's my top listed friend) and a couple of other friends. We mostly play Blues/Rock covers and our own material.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I just wish we had this thirty years ago. Today even if you don't have a deal you can still get your music heard by potentially the whole wide world.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes! but i very much doubt it these days.
Band History:
I have played in numerous bands over the years.
Now! it's a Blues/Rock band, Called ASSAMARRA.
We play a mixture of covers and our own songs, it's funny how you get blank faces when you lay one of your own new songs on the audience and then watch them warm to it.

Your influences?
The Guitarists who have influenced me are:- David Gilmour, Tony TS McPhee, Neil Young, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, Cliff Gallup, Otis Rush.
But anything in the Minestrone music soup has touched me in some way.

Favorite spot?
Spain, I love the culture
Equipment used:
On the first two tracks it's a Left handed Strat straight into a Marshall rig.
Now! I still use the Strat and Marshall, along with a Casio MG 510 midi guitar (only as a guitar and it's superb), a Tanglewood TW45NS acoustic guitar, a modified Ibanez Lawsuit set up in open G tuning for slide work, Fatar midi keyboard with Yamaha Tone Generators for Keyboards, and a Zoom MRS-802 HDD 8 Track with AKG and Radio Shack PZM mics and a Lap top running Audacity 1.3.7.

Anything else...?
I've noticed how live music in my area is now more popular than ever with lots 0f venues bands to play, the future looks good.
