Peter Fitzpatrick is an Irish singer-songwriter raised on a diet of classic pop music.

His conversational style is in the fine tradition of the singer songwriters he admires: George Harrison, Elvis Costello and Ron Sexsmith.

The live show mixes traditional acoustic pop with electro pop and brings the audience through a series of stories and characters.

It is easy to see the influence of Costello in Peter’s willingness to tackle some of life’s “darker” issues, of Harrison in the dry humour of Peter’s lyrics and of Sexsmith in the way in which Peter examines the human condition.

Peter’s new album “
Other People’s Hats” is now available. It features his song “This Hometown” which was a finalist in the Christie Hennessy Song Contest sponsored by the Irish Music Rights Organization IMRO and his recent single "Saving Souls" which achieved regional and national airplay.
