Peter Allen
Peter Allen - A Tribute
Simon Gillespie grew up just about as far away from Peter Allen as it’s possible to get on this planet, yet somehow the music of this extraordinary singer/songwriter had an enormous influence on him.

From Olivia Newton John’s landmark recording of ‘I Honestly Love You’ to Peter’s own soulful and heart-wrenchingly honest delivery of ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ these songs spoke to Simon from the very start.

Peter Allen’s songs are his true biography and tell us so much about the man, his life and his loves.

From working as Judy Garland’s opening act {Quiet Please – There’s a Lady Onstage} to international stardom as an openly flamboyant and controversial artist {Bi-Coastal} these songs take us on a journey through love, life and finally having to say goodbye {Once Before I Go}.

For almost 15 years Simon has been asked by audiences globally to deliver a purely Peter Allen set. Well here it finally is. A very personal, very intimate homage to the man that influenced Simon’s life more than any other.

This is designed as a 50-minute piece suited to stand-alone presentation or use as part of a themed production. Contact Simon for further details.
