*ATTENTION Arts Council of England*
For your listening pleasure, with compliments to all the great work you do for the Arts and your consideration for my DYCP Grant Application, August 10th, 2023. 
Please enjoy the following show reel. It has been compiled to be heard as one narrative arc, but if you wish to skip through it, that is totally fine.
However you listen, I hope you enjoy. 
I have made a video but being new to video making it took too long to render and it was not uploaded in time for submission! Here is a link to my youtube channel where I have now posted the video  https://youtu.be/w-QJTHkzLe4 

Some notes about this show reel below - as many as I can write in hopes they convey a level and quality of work you will consider supporting, as I look to develop my creative practice and create a new body of work, whilst developing best practice for working as differently abled, neurodiverse Musician and Creator.
Peters Blackett's Retrospective Showreel:  A compilation mix of songs and tunes from a 25+ year career in music.
All songs written or co-written by Peters Blackett with the exception of the Bengali and Polish Folk songs, and the Rev Hammer songs 'Put it on Red' and 'Bonnie Besses'. 
Featuring The Amigos, Black Cat Magic and others, 23 songs trimmed down to a wild journey from the English Civil War to the far reaches of the Cosmos! 
The reel begins with a dramatic opening from the Freeborn John Album, recorded in 1997 with Rev Hammer and a hugely talented cast including Eddi Reader who sings one of the songs on this reel, Bonny Besses! My guitar solo opens the show followed by some stomping folk tunes from the Levellers and moves through some soulful funk and acoustic songs. Then there is a passage of soundsystem infused festival mayhem from the Amigos. Some lost demos from a project making pop music where I show my ability to work to order with modern studio techniques. 
On display throughout is my stylistic preferences for strong rhythm, counterpoint harmony choruses, big hooks and anthemic, uplifting music offset with some emotional reaching, yearning blues and reflective pieces. 
I also include some tunes from a community song project showing my love for bridging cultures and celebrating life through music.
Black Cat Magic finish up the reel with some psychedelic swamp stomp before the folk sensibilities of Maddy Prior and Simon Friend battle it out in a 17th century comic tragedy.
This show reel is one version of tying up loose ends and clearing a creative path for my new work starting in Autumn 2023.
Thank you for listening and all you do at the Arts Council we would all be poorer without you.
