Peter Lincoln was born in Newcastle 15.03.1956 and has had a guitar in his hands for most of his life, and has made much of his living as a singer and musician, both on stage and in the studio.

 

Touring and recording with a wide range of artists including Sir Cliff Richard, Tina Turner, Shakin' Stevens and Danni Minogue has taken him all over the globe from New Zealand to Greenland.

 

During the last twenty years, Pete has also performed in excess of 3,500 solo gigs, entertaining audiences of all shapes and sizes at weddings, parties, social functions and dances.

 

These ‘human juke box’ performances show his extensive range of knowledge of Pop and Rock music from the late 50s to the present day, all delivered with style – and a sharp sense of humour!

 

On a more creative level, Pete has composed a diverse range of theme and incidental music for television programmes in the UK as well as  song-writing for S Club 7 …… but then again - nobody's perfect!

 

For the last decade he has fronted the 70s band Sailor.  This was a very happy period for Pete, however all good things come to an end, and the time came to move on to pastures new – and so to The Sweet.

 

Pete is absolutely delighted to be the ‘new boy’ in the band.  He says “I always loved the music of The Sweet  - such a fantastic set of hits.  They seemed to be on TV all the time when I was growing up in the 70s, and they always provided me with some new guitar riffs to learn!”

 

So – here’s to many more happy years rockin’ with the band.

 

Peters first gig with Sweet was Wirges Open Air in Germany on July 1st 2006 and the day after in Hamburg Stadtpark.
