Peter Spence – Don't Leave Me Lonely

Biography
Reggae music has flourished in England like no other place outside Jamaica. At least two generations of talented UK artists and producers have laid down musical roots that are now celebrated far beyond the confines of the inner city communities that first nurtured them. Whilst Maxi Priest has proven Britain’s most successful reggae singer to date, the name on a lot of people’s lips right now is Peter Spence; a Birmingham born artist with street credentials to spare, but whose gifts increasingly demand a more international setting.
It’s the quality of his songs and material, as well as his peerless vocals that have reaped Peter most acclaim so far. Whilst hardly prolific, he’s consistently delivered music of the highest order, and yet just seems to get better as time goes by. A retrospective of his earlier songs called Lover’s Rock was released by Warriors Of Peace at the end of 2003, but look out for new singles on the Checkmate and Stingray labels, the latter having issued his second album, Unfinished Business in 1999. The title of this milestone set says it all, since Peter’s career is still only at the midway stage, as demonstrated by his spiralling popularity on both sides of the Atlantic.
His story begins in England’s second city of Birmingham, where he was taught guitar by his father, who had played with bands in Jamaica before settling in England. His own musical apprenticeship was first served by roles as the drummer and then rhythm guitarist for a group called the Experts during the very early 80s.
