Peter Gowdy is an award-winning singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom. HistoryPete made his name as the singer-songwriter of the disbanded, yet still talked about London rock group Ivory Circus. Always marching to his own beat, Gowdy dropped out of college and found his calling in songwriting. In his own words, he began to "obsessively" write songs, spending countless hours honing the intricacies of melody, lyric, and structure. After penning close to a thousand songs, he threw himself into the London music scene, where he played with various bands, and started to attract music industry attention[1] In 2009, Gowdy's song "Turning on My Radio" won XFM London Radio's band competition by a "landslide",[2] Building on the radio success, the group quickly built a following in the London club circuit and before long, large crowds came to see them at top venues such as the Clapham Grand, the London Astoria, and Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush[3] Just as offers were starting to come in, and things began to look bright for the band, Ivory Circus broke up when a few of the members splintered in different directions. Gowdy has embarked on a solo path,[4] with songs already being played on BBC6 Radio. He is currently working on new material/projects, and has produced other bands as well. In November 2010, Gowdy was profiled by influential music taste-maker FUTURE SOUNDS, which said that after hearing his music "you might conclude that Gowdy was an overlooked gem of the roaring ’60’s on Carnaby Street."[5] References1. ^Concert Promoter article re Ivory Circus attention from Record Labels and live show at Clapham Grand{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, {{DEFAULTSORT:Gowdy, Pete}}2. ^Ivory Circus Page, with Audio of XFM Radio Announcing Win, and listing previous Live Performances, 3. ^National Gig Guide UK, listing Ivory Circus as an Act playing at the London Astoria{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, 4. ^Pete Gowdy Official Page with biography, 5. ^Pete Gowdy Article from FUTURE SOUNDS{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, 4 : English singer-songwriters|Living people|Year of birth missing (living people)|Place of birth missing (living people) |
