Peter Farrie is a songwriter and performer based in Exeter, UK with an MA in Songwriting from ICMP London. He writes quirky, funny and sometimes heartfelt songs and has recently headlined at Taking the Mic at Exeter Phoenix and Word Stir! in Totnes.
Peter Farrie’s songs and performance style are a gentle quirky joy, delicately funny, super moving and deeply engaging. I could watch him for hours….but not in a creepy way. – Ceri Baker, ex Bard of Exeter
Christmas Song Twenty Twenty Five
It’s a song about a song, possibly this song possibly not. It says it was ready well before Christmas, but I uploaded it four days before. It includes the date so it can’t be timeless. I played it at Friday Live at St Bridget’s West Kirby then in Exeter at Monday’s Word Kitchen Festive Fandango and Taking the Mic on Wednesday. On Monday I asked the audience to make up their own version of the song and it was lovely. The live version replaces the word ‘single’ in the final verse with something else. I hope you enjoy it and play it lots over the holiday.
