THE TUTORS

Professor Peter

Professor Peter is a Dutch ukulele player, crooner and multi instrumentalist. He plays and sings songs from the twenties and thirties. Swing, Tin Pan Alley, crooners and dance bands created the sound and image of the Roaring Twenties and Swinging Thirties.

Somewhere during his musical career, Professor Peter heard this music. And it never let go. Professor Peter accompanies the old music on ukulele. Besides the ukulele, Prof Peter uses kazoo, mouth harp and mouth trumpet on stage. The repertoire is entirely in English.The Prof is well known in the ukulele world. Not only in the Netherlands. He played in Germany and Belgium, but also on festivals in England, Ireland, Czech republic and Poland. Professor Peter is an experienced entertainer. Whether it is in Dutch, English, German or French, a relaxed show, with lots of interaction is guaranteed. The Prof has played many living-room concerts, small theatres and large ukulele festivals. A public ready to sit back to watch and listen brings out the best of Prof Peters concerts.
