Guitar Heroes Concert

Guitar Heroes Concert for the Purbeck Guitar Festival

A Purbeck Guitar Festival concert in partnership with the Swanage Jazz Club.

Peter Cooley, a soulful singer and guitarist hailing from Bournemouth will be bringing a evening of soul, funk, and blues-infused music. Peter is a local musician from Bournemouth, who has performed gigs in the UK and Europe. He is currently working 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.

The line-up includes:

• Peter Cooley – Lead Vocals/Lead Guitar
• Lee Hayter – Keyboard
• Chris Attwell – Bass Guitar
• George Preston – Drums/Backing vocals

Special Guest Star – Gary Cain

“ridiculously talented, genre-bending guitarist…a jaw-dropper.” – Blues Matters Magazine

Gary Cain is a Canadian-born, Austin bred, and now UK-based guitarist.  Cain’s incendiary fret-work earned him an opening slot with blues-rocker George Thorogood, a Semi-Finalist finish at the International Blues Challenge, and main-stage appearances at major festivals across North America, Europe, and the UK.

His 2022 album Next Stop received widespread critical acclaim, and was called “a stunning tour de force of musicianship” by Blues Blast Magazine (UK). 2024 saw the release of his 3rd album, Outside The Lines, charting on the UK’s Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Top 40 albums, and further staking out his own style and artistic voice.

Doors open at 6.30 pm. Concert starts at 8.00 pm
