He did another interview with Nick Gush for the Arts and Entertainment Show on The Grand, 92.9 FM in Fergus that aired on February 24th, 2013.
After playing a house concert at the Grise Fine Art Gallery in Penetanguishene, this is what owner/operator Debbie Grise had to say: "Peter has a way with storytelling in song, that engages and delights his audience. Gwen adds pleasing layers to the performance with her viola d'amore and light harmonies. The two perfectly compliment each other."
