Pete is a spoken word poet, loop station artist and comic whose mission is to incite a spirit of carnival, wonderment and riotous love. His lyrics touch on themes of madness, philosophy and civil unrest, with the help of loop machines and FX machinery. The result is a uniquely poetic and songful carnival of vibes. 

Pete’s work has been featured on BBC Radio 4, Newsnight and the World Service. He is a former Hammer & Tongue UK Poetry Slam champion and has performed and taught in over 15 countries with organisations that include The British Council. He is currently touring an absurdist-interactive-devotional stage show with his band - Pete the Temp & the Vibe Mechanics.
