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, Bard of Exeter
Performances coming up!
I’m looking forward to two live shows coming up. Creative Integration at Studio 36 Exeter on Sat 5 April and Eggstravaganza at Brook Kitchen, Budleigh Salterton on Wed 9 April. See my gig listings for details!
One or 2 of these tunes might get an airing and there’ll be some brand new ones too.
The Red Cliffs of Sidmouth
I’m super grateful to Susie Williamson Author for this lovely review of my recent song The Red Cliffs of Sidmouth:
Meanwhile, I just had a listen to your new release, Peter Farrie, a gorgeous tribute to the Jurassic coast. I enjoyed the characterisation of the red cliffs, a wonderfully iconic place, crumbling yet solid, standing the test of time for so many of us. As always, your observations are astute and on point, a perfect blend of humour, melancholy, self-reflection and curiosity that is instantly relatable. ‘Santa’s got his claws in every pocket…’ – indeed! A beautiful reflective piece on this thing called life.
