‘GUITAR HEROES’ concert

The Purbeck Guitar Festival and Love It Local in partnership with the Swanage Jazz Club, proudly present Peter Cooley, a soulful singer and guitarist hailing from Bournemouth. With roots tracing back to London, Peter’s musical journey has seen him traverse Europe, gracing stages with his soul, funk, and blues-infused performances.

Having earned his stripes through years of relentless gigging, Peter is now stepping into a new chapter, focused on recording and sharing his own original music. His songs are a reflection of his journey, filled with the same grit, groove, and spirit that have defined his life.

Peter’s sound is a captivating blend of vintage blues and soul, reimagined through a modern lens. Whether through electrifying guitar solos or powerful, soulful vocals, Peter Cooley’s music is a testament to the heart and hustle of a true artist.

Special Guest Star – Gary Cain

“ridiculously talented, genre-bending guitarist…a jaw-dropper.” – Blues Matters Magazine   

Gary Cain is a Canadian-born, Austin bred, and now UK-based guitarist.  Cain’s incendiary fret-work earned him an opening slot with blues-rocker George Thorogood, a Semi-Finalist finish at the International Blues Challenge, and main-stage appearances at major festivals across North America, Europe, and the UK.  

His 2022 album Next Stop received widespread critical acclaim, and was called “a stunning tour de force of musicianship” by Blues Blast Magazine (UK). 2024 saw the release of his 3rd album, Outside The Lines, charting on the UK’s Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Top 40 albums, and further staking out his own style and artistic voice.
