Peter Sarstedt first came to prominence in February 1969 with a Number 1 hit single “Where do you go to, my lovely”. He held that position for 6 weeks in Britain, reached No.1 in 14 other countries, and was awarded the highly coveted Ivor Novello Award for Best Song 1969/70 for his composition.

Peter was given his own BBC Television and Radio series and appeared extensively across continental Europe, a West German television show of his being entered for the Golden rose of Montreaux.

Peter began composing songs in 1966 and continues to do so to this day, touring the world with his vast repertoire of passionate, energetic, timeless songs.

“A singer-songwriter of consummate skill, he is in the Ry Cooder mould...a joy to listen to...flawless renderings of gems such as Beirut, Boulevard and Love Among the Ruins. May he always be around as an example of the resilience of talent. If you get a chance to catch Sarstedt - don’t pass it up”.

“Always good to welcome Sarstedt back. He remains a perceptive lyricist able to produce great melodies... impressive composing talent... Beirut - an entire novel of Eric Ambler complexities in 3 minutes... the great thing about this truly wonderful song is that the story is unfinished. Play it 20 times and you’re still intrigued. A masterpiece...”
