PETER ORD - SONGWRITER
I've known Peter Ord for THIRTY years ! He is a songwriter and artist living in Hartlepool, UK. A self-taught musician (guitar, bass and keyboards),he has been writing music since his early teens.
In the 80's he performed with post - punk bands in the Middlesbrough area, including Halcyon Days, Oceans 11(along with Richard Sanderson, Ronny Burke & me) and Hold, amongst others.
Since then, he has concentrated on songwriting, film -making and painting. He records his music in his bedroom and refuses to play live.He is NOT a Private Detective- or is eh?
He composed the moody THEME for my CRIMESPACE page.

His latest recording is the noir tinged This Impossible Night and here it is ...

"He records his music in his bedroom and refuses to play live..."
I think that he should get out there and let the public hear his sound.
DeeDee ;-D
I missed this - (but then I struggle keeping up with you these days) just to add that I've always admired Peter's straightline approach to song writing, unlike me he's not been swayed by the twists and turns of fashionability, and has just stuck to what he does best - writing rather lovely songs that are also, unmistakably, in their chord structures and voicings, Peter. I can't believe you've known me for longer than you've known Peter though, that really is shocking!
Thanks for the comments . If you look up the word prolific in a dictionary you won't se a picture of Peter Ord. That would be daft. But he is. Very.
