Pete Solley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Solley (born 19 October 1948) is a Hammond organ player, pianist and a Grammy-nominated record producer. He has recorded with Eric Clapton, Al Stewart and Whitesnake as well as producing records for Ted Nugent, Motörhead, The Romantics, Peter Frampton, The Sports, and many others.
At the age of 13 he won a scholarship to Trinity College of Music in London and after graduating became a session musician.
After declining membership of several groups[1] in 1977 he became a member of the Progressive rock group Procol Harum playing synthesisers (this allowed Chris Copping to take over on bass guitar). During his time with the group he recorded one album, Something Magic, and toured extensively to promote the album. Shortly afterwards the group broke up.
In the 80s Pete began writing TV jingles, his clients including British Airways, BMW cars, and Coca Cola.
In 1997 he briefly rejoined Procol Harum for a concert in Redhill and in 2004 played with their lead singer/song writer and pianist, Gary Brooker for a concert in Guildford. He currently runs a company producing MIDI files.
