Subject to the weather, this weekend’s Fallfest concerts at Glusburn , near Keighley , will feature Guiseley -born singer Peter Grant and a four-piece band.

Earlier this year, T&A readers were treated to an unusually candid account of this talented young man’s struggle to follow up the sucess of his first two albums, New Vintage (2006) and Traditional (2007).

He wound up spending 18 months kipping down in a spare room in Sphere Studios, Battersea, while recording 70 songs from which he chose a dozen for a projected third album. Did that album ever materialise? Why did he go to Monaco? And what’s the story about his forthcoming movie soundtrack release?

“The album did materialise. It’s called Peter Grant because I wrote all the songs. It’s out there already. People can pick it up on petergrantmusic.com,” he said. “The album’s not funding my lifestyle, there’s no Ferrari on my driveway yet; but I am constantly gigging. Music is my living.”

Not only does the 25-year-old Guiseley troubadour have no Ferrari, he has no driveway. He still has no home of his own, says he’s happy to bed down wherever he is. He does so in the knowledge that if ever he is in dire need of a cheese sandwich he can always turn to his parents or do another private party on a yacht in Monaco.

“Some of the yachts are bigger than the town I come from. They are in a different world over there, If people do hold back a bit now they may try to buy only one or two new cars a year,” he added.

Next Friday, Peter and his musical director and producer Danny McCormack will be running through his repertoire at Kork’s wine bar in Otley .

The same day sees the general release of a movie by Noel Clark called The Knot, which features Too Close and Hundreds, two songs by Peter.

“It’s a British version of The Hangover and is very funny. Noel Clark heard the album a while back and decided to use the songs towards the end of the film,” he said.

Peter Grant’s advice to aspiring performers is that unless brought into the business by a family member, learn as much about it as you.

“When they know you’re new they - meaning managers, music publishers, record company executives - don’t let you know everything. It’s only when you hit a few problems that you find out how things are properly done,” said Peter.

“The Internet helps. You can discover what a manager does and what he’s supposed to do. I think it’s important for people starting out to learn as much about the business as possible.

“Otherwise they might look back and realise: ‘If I had done that I could have bought my mum a mansion’.”

Peter’s mum would probably settle for her son’s happiness - and perhaps a motorhome, his latest idea of how to stay a freewheeling troubadour.
