"TOUR DE FORCE!"

This new show of Pete’s is a tour de force, it is honestly a revelation, and a real joy, to see a performer at the top of his already deeply impressive game.

The premise of the show is that the friendly ghost of a sailor haunts an old pub, meeting and talking with people through the centuries, the famous and infamous, observing the changing world with a smile and a quick wit, singing popular songs from times gone by.

A happy mixture of music hall, pantomime, standup comedy, rowdy back room folk clubs, with moments of utter beauty and breathtaking audacity, it is a unique experience. It’s full of laughter, singalongs, history, poetry, philosophy and life affirming fun.

It’s one of the very best things I’ve ever seen. The audience were with him from the start, and their laughing, singing, clapping and foot stamping filled the hall. It was a mesmerising performance, a non stop cavalcade of vignettes and quips. I was left in awe of Pete’s command of the huge amount of material the show contains, just one person with a guitar and a voice, keeping the carnival vibrantly alive for us all. - Pete Kenny

"It’s a truly unique show from start to finish: Sailor Swift’s fast-moving links between the pieces with so many references is breathtaking, besides the communication with the audience and opportunities for audience participation; but most of all, there’s his vocal versatility, talent and energy! He kept us completely engrossed." -Cambridge Folk Club
