The Gig Cartel - Gig guide: Peter Hammill, Gateshead

Peter Hammill, Gateshead

(featuring Peter Hammill)

Venue: Gateshead The Glasshouse

Peter Hammill began his career with Van Der Graaf Generator, the chaotic and highly influential underground 70s group.  His solo career has embraced over 20 albums of quirky and highly original music and he has written for ballet, film and TV. Peter’s work has always been independent and uncompromising; he believes that it is more important to apply literacy, intelligence and passion to the making of music than to chase after commercial success. A national treasure.
