He was a regular at jam sessions where he met musicians like Steve Murphy, Tommy Emmanuel, Michael Bartolomei, Willy Qua, Dale Barlow, Miroslav Bukowsky and Jackie Orszaczky.

Peter spent three months in New York in summer 1981 going to concerts, jam sessions as well as having lessons from musicians like Dave Liebman, John Scofield, Jimmy Raney and Attila Zoller.

In the years since Peter has toured Australia and New Zealand performing with local musicians like Mike Nock, Paul Williamson, Miroslav Bukovsky, Nick Haywood, Brett Hirst, Jonathan Zwartz, Hamish Stuart and Andrew Gander.
