TheBad Shepherds play punksongs on folk instruments.Not as a gag, but becausethey really like the noise.They think the songs arebetter than people remember.They love folk instruments.It works. They do songs byThe Sex Pistols, The Clash,The Stranglers, The Jam,Sham69, TheUndertones,TheRamones, TheBuzzcocks,The Specials, TalkingHeads,Squeeze and others, evenKraftwerk! Alright, they’renot all punk, but they comefrom roughly the same era.They’vemostly given the songsa kind of Celtic feel and they’vestuck in the odd reel and jig here and there... but occasionally they justthrash! They’ve always thought the excitement of a reel taking off is thenearest thing to the excitement of watching punk live in the 70s.

Peter enjoyed a successful golfcareer winning 21 professionaltournaments, including 3 British PGAChampionships. He also representedGreat Britain and Ireland in the RyderCup 15 times. Peter once claimedhe’s a golf commentator onlybecause he’s “there as an old player,a lover of the game and a goodweaver of stories.” Modesty wouldprevent him saying that Golf Digestdescribed him as “the greatest golfcommentator ever”– but tomanythat’s what he is.

Peter will sharememories fromhischildhood and formative years, plushis own insightful views on the gameof golf today, as well as takingquestions from the audience.
