Celtic music has always struck a special chord with our members, and we’re delighted to welcome back an artist whose intricate guitar work has been sorely missed. It’s been far too long since Peter Miller last graced our stage – prepare for an enchanting afternoon of delicate finger-style melodies and wordless storytelling.

Blending Celtic and folk influences, Peter Miller's music is a journey of storytelling without words – a heartfelt expression of his passion and artistry.

Peter Miller is a respected Australian finger-style guitarist known for his delicate touch and melodic approach. With a career that has taken him across Ireland, Europe, Vietnam, and Japan, Peter has shared the stage with renowned musicians like John Spillane and Ger Wolfe, captivating audiences with his expressive performances.

His album Songs Without Words stands as a testament to his artistry, featuring collaborations with celebrated musicians such as flautist Sarah Calderwood and fiddle maestro Steve Wickham of The Waterboys.

His music has found its way to international audiences through film and television, with notable appearances on the cult UK series Skins and the Shania Twain documentary Why Not, produced by the Oprah Winfrey Network.
