Album background

The album was produced and performed in its entirety by Peters Himself, using the basic instrumentation of voice, acoustic guitar and harmonica. 'Acoustic Works' was recorded during the course of 2 years at 'Fort Apache' Boston MA, 'Dreamland', Woodstock NY and 'Mountain & Sea' Wales.'

"I began these recordings in 1995 at Fort Apache studios in Boston USA and ever since then whenever I have been in a recording situation I have cut some more of these songs usually with fans/friends present. In 1997, having completed the final recording sessions at Mountain & Sea Studios Wales time has dictated that this record be released. It has taken more than 10 years to write, at least 2 years to record and over 17 years to produce and together with Acoustic Works 1981-1986 contains 46 performances of songs that have, and will always remain a huge part of my life." Mike Peters, October 1997, Wales.[1]
