Slidin PK and His PEG Band + Band in Belfast, NI

SEEKING

ABOUT

Born in Elblag, Poland in1976, Piotr started playing guitar at the age of 13. Being 28 years young, he moved to Dublin, Ireland, switched his acoustic guitar for a resonator guitar and began to develop his own unique style drawing inspiration from people and there stories, he is living and playing blues in its purest form.
In Ireland, Piotr is currently working as part of a couple of projects such as Clarkbury, The Booze Brothers Band and most recently his solo project, Slidin' Pk. His music combines elements of Folk, Dixieland, Jazz, Blues, Oriental and African music (specially Nigeria, Mali, Senegal) with his own unique twist overlaid on it.
"I grew up in the communistic reality of Poland in the 80's and 90's. It was tough and the town I was living in didn't give you many options. In a way, I can be thankful now to be born there in this period. It forced many people like me to look for alternatives,. For me music became one, specially music from black people which I believe is one of the most rhythmical and expressive, yet in the same time it carries a great wisdom of a simple life in it's average but still very rich form. Simplicity, I believe, is the key element to build a clear message and to have the ability to share your experience with people who may need it. Anyway, that is the way I have learned how to live and create. Delta Mississippi Blues from all the black music forms is the one which I identify most with my life and way of feeling. "
