Francis Mcpeake Email & Phone Number

Belfast, Gb

Belfast, United Kingdom

Since July 2010 I have been touring, recording and writing non-stop!

Throughout the early 1990's I managed and co-ordinated the McPeake Family tours of the UK, USA and Europe - as well as performing with the band. I also performed for, and alongside, prestigious artists such as Marianne Faithful, John Hurt ("Alien", "The Elephant Man", "Captain Coreilli's Mandolin"), Gerry Garcia ("Grateful Dead") and Denis Hopper ("Easy Rider", "Blue velvet", "Speed"), Brian Kennedy, Juliet Turner, Kieran Goss and has undertaken co-production alongside Shel Talmy (producer of "The Who", "The Kinks" and Elton John).In October 2002, I was musical co-ordinator for "The Boys and Girl from County Clare" - a production with a £5 million budget starring Andrea Corr ("The Corrs", "Evita"), Bernard Hill ("Titanic", "Lord of the Rings"), Patrick Bergin ("Sleeping with the Enemy", ‘Robin Hood’) and Colum Meaney ("Star Trek: The Next generation", "The Commitments").

The day-to-day running of the School. This includes not only insuring a professional and positive approach to children and adults learning music is maintained but also developing potential funding, both private and public, to ensure the doors remain open.The School is presently in severe financial need. To this end, I am dedicating every moment to ensuring that the School does not close its doors. If I do not achieve my goal of keeping the school open, Belfast and Northern Ireland as well as many, many children and young people will loose a reason and purpose for playing music.The School has changed not only my life but the lives of countless musicians both professional and amateur, who have attended the School over the years. It is very difficult to convey in words the social and community benefit that the school has made in Belfast.
