Tiger Moth Tales is the project of the blind multi instrumentalist Pete Jones. I think this deserves a place in Symphonic.

Bandcamp:
https://tigermothtales.bandcamp.com/releases

Web site:
http://www.tigermothtales.com/

Abstract from the site: 

Tiger Moth Tales is essentially the brain child of nottinghamshire based musician and writer Peter Jones, who has been involved in the music industry performing around the UK and recording his own material since the late 90s.

Pete, (33) was born on October 6th 1980. At fifteen months Pete lost his sight due to Retinoblastoma. From an early age he was into all things musical and at the age of four had his first piano.

"Music has always been a huge part of my life. How much of that was influenced by my sight loss it's impossible to say, but i've always had a knack of picking up music by ear pretty quickly." (Pete)

Throughout his school years he took part in all kinds of musical activities ñ school plays, music festivals and concerts. One of the highlights of his young life was winning the junior final of BBC’s ‘Song for Christmas’ in 1988. Around this time he started to be aware of the music in the charts and was also influenced by music his parents listened to. Artists such as Phil collins, Paul McCartney and George Michael were big influences, along with bands including Queen, Genesis, the Beatles and the Carpenters.

I'd rather not report on the progress of the team until the Crossover team has had the full chance to review it.  There are still three votes outstanding.  If all three vote yes, then it's in for crossover.  It's not that it's a huge secret or anything, just please give the team time to do their job and we will let you know.

And in the meantime...have a listen to the interview Marty Dorfman at House of Prog did with Pete last Friday: http://social.houseofprog.com/live-interviews/?did=20 ('right click/save as' on the download button, or just click on it if you want to let your default media player handle it on line). Big smile
 
Edit: This link is just the one hour twenty minute interview (ie. music edited out).  If you want the full four hour show then it's on mixcloud for about a month: https://www.mixcloud.com/marty-dorfman/the-waiting-room-1-16-2015-includes-interview-with-peter-jones-of-tiger-moth-tales/. Thumbs Up
