Greetings! I am Pete Farrugia, a professional guitar, bass guitar and ukulele teacher based in Carshalton, London, UK. Lessons are also available worldwide via Zoom.
I started playing in 1972, and I started teaching in 1977. I have had a long, varied career in music. My first professional recording session, for a corporate client was in 1975. The first of my bands to reach any level of notoriety was the Fast Set in 1981. We were featured on the Synth-Pop classic Some Bizarre Album, and played all over the UK. Around the same time I played bass on "Pass Myself", a highly collectable single by Neo-Psychedelic band the Third Eye, and several singles and albums for Danielle Dax.
I have toured and recorded with many British Blues Bands, notably Sister Cookie, Katie Bradley, Chad Strentz & The Chad-illacs and Shout Sister Shout! I have toured as lead guitar sideman with several American Blues and R'n'B artists, including Earl Gaines, Al Garner, Deacon Jones, Chick Willis and Taka Boom.
