🎶 Local Artist Of The Week: PETE BINGHAM 🎸✨
Pete Bingham (aka Pedro Kaldini), who has recently passed away, was a talented and prolific guitarist, songwriter, arranger, and promoter. 🌟
For several decades he made music with a succession of bands – Kald, Sendelica, The Lost Stoned Pandas, and The Fellowship of Hallucinatory Voyagers – in genres that encompassed psychedelic rock, prog rock, Krautrock, dance, and electronica. 🎵🎹🎸 His music was always experimental, joyful, and avoided cliché. He loved collaborating in his musical adventures – especially with PWR presenter and fellow musician Colin Consterdine and Hawkwind's Nik Turner. 🤝🎶
With Sendelica he ventured beyond our Shire to perform at venues and festivals all over the UK, the USA, and Europe. 🌍✈️🎤
Pete was also the mainman of Cardigan's biannual Dream of Dr Sardonicus Psychedelic Festival, held in The Cellar, Cardigan. 🌈🎪 People came from all over the world to attend this groundbreaking event. 🌎✨
He will be much missed on the west Wales music scene and beyond. 💙 The music played this week is only a small selection of his amazing back catalogue, a catalogue that was also renowned for its artful and imaginative presentation. 🎨💿🎶
