Peter Lovett is the guitarist of the band. Coming from a classical guitar background where most of the repertoire is solo or for small ensembles, he is finally fulfilling his ambition of playing with a large group. And he couldn’t have landed in a better place. Peter is the proud guardian of Rusko, a border terrier, who attends all Velvet Tones rehearsals and as many gigs as possible and is the unofficial band mascot.

Unsurprisingly, Peter and Rusko’s favourite number from the pad is “Doghouse”.
