Fiona Peters
Biography
Fiona has many roles in this line up, firstly, she
is Buddy's music Manager, on stage she is the MC and accordion
player and she is a master at keeping the band organised!!!
Fiona has been a closet musician for many years, most comfortable on the piano, which she plays in an all girls jazz band. She took up the challenge of learning bass guitar in 2006, playing with singer/songwriter Darren Clarke.
Buddy invited Fiona to play accordion for him in some of his blues tunes. Fiona plays the real deal, a small red
'Busilacchio accordion', which did lay idle for many years in the linen cupboard.
Buddy calls it 'Fiona's Axe', despite the term usually reserved for guitars...(and
yes, we've heard it called other things!)
You often hear Fiona saying "where did I leave the car keys?", and see her frantically searching her bottomless handbag.
