Pete Cater Band (A tribute to Buddy Rich)

Band_1

UK Sticks-man and Big Band leader Pete Cater is taking his band out on the road to showcase how Big Band music should be played.

The tour is a tribute to Legendary drummer Buddy Rich and Mr Cater will take to the stage with his 15-piece band to play tunes with origins from the 1960's - no war time classics.

Appearing in Hastings for the first time, the band will be showcasing well known and much requested tunes from Buddies repertoire, including Nowegian Wood, West Side Story and Love For Sale.

Mr Cater, drummer and band leader, said: “It’s important that people in all parts of the UK get to hear what we are doing." “I think of big band music as a little bit of an endangered species, there is not much of it on TV or in the media."

Drummer, Buddy Rich, was one of a kind and at the forefront of the Big Band era and the Pete Cater Band is keen for their performances to be as authentic in style.

Pete Cater’s band has toured throughout the UK and Europe since forming back in 1995, and recently made a cameo appearance on ITV1 special Ronnie Corbett’s Comedy Britain.

The tour kicks off on 28th of September in Southend and then 29th at The White Rock Theatre in Hastings.
