His talent, humour and humble outlook made him a brilliant band member and a genuine friend to all. <br /><br />Alan BarnesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-60891718259805882492014-07-15T11:26:10.115+01:002014-07-15T11:26:10.115+01:00Another anniversary Pete.

Make him feel welcome, I KNOW you will. You were taken from us FAR too young but, I guess our loss his gain. God bless. We'll meet again I KNOW Pete and then it will be for eternity.<br />Peter SearsPeter Searsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-32014626975836674202012-11-17T16:41:34.817+00:002012-11-17T16:41:34.817+00:00Very many thanks Didi, good to see you on here too...Very many thanks Didi, good to see you on here too.<br /><br />Yes, PK played some amazing shows on that tour with ELO, pleased to hear you attempted to carry on his gift!<br /><br />All the best, PBPeter Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581918660786956398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-19562603225674475302012-10-18T10:53:58.632+01:002012-10-18T10:53:58.632+01:00I went to see ELO in concert feb 82 and left as an...I went to see ELO in concert feb 82 and left as an ATF fan, posessed by this incredible drummer Pete King who managed it to give 2 almost perfect concerts in one night. As a young drummer playing for only 2 years I studied the "King-rhythm-method" painstakingly. Don't know why, but I knew he was a very special man, allthough I never met him personally. I was so enthusiastic and came across the loss of ATF when my hero PK entered germanys greatest band at that time: BAP. In that year I travelled to several shows just to see the King. Since he passed away I never had a favourite drummer again. So my relationship to Pete King was only one-way, but for me it was extraordinarily important. He still visits me in my dreams from time to time. Thank you so much for your words 25 years on Mr.Banksy.Didinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-32139801452564004432012-07-17T22:52:55.088+01:002012-07-17T22:52:55.088+01:00Cheers Tim, PK was in BAP only between 86 and 87. ...Cheers Tim, PK was in BAP only between 86 and 87. He came back to England early 87 and we played one more gig as Zipcodes in Finsbury Park, right in the shadow of the Rainbow Theatre. There's more, but will wait for another moment!<br /><br />All the best and thanks for looking, PBPeter Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581918660786956398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-47054014894975092132012-07-16T23:19:31.203+01:002012-07-16T23:19:31.203+01:00I never realised he was a member of BAP - who are,...I never realised he was a member of BAP - who are, of course common currency over here, but this is the 1st time I have listened to anything by them.<br />A heart-felt tribute from you.
