The Purbeck Guitar Festival and Love It Local in partnership with the Swanage Jazz Club, proudly present Peter Cooley, a soulful singer and guitarist hailing from Bournemouth. With roots tracing back to London, Peter's musical journey has seen him traverse Europe, gracing stages with his soul, funk, and blues-infused performances.

Having earned his stripes through years of relentless gigging, Peter is now stepping into a new chapter, focused on recording and sharing his own original music. His songs are a reflection of his journey, filled with the same grit, groove, and spirit that have defined his life.

Peter's sound is a captivating blend of vintage blues and soul, reimagined through a modern lens. Whether through electrifying guitar solos or powerful, soulful vocals, Peter Cooley’s music is a testament to the heart and hustle of a true artist.
