" I'm very blessed to have been able to play overseas so often, When in Ireland I often Join the great songwriter John Spillane for a gig. He's been very generous allowing me to to play guitar for him over the years in Debarras, Ireland as a whole is great for music, you could almost swear music started there, I'm completely spoilt when I tour Ireland. Actually most of Europe is very musical cultured, Czech Republic, Germany and even Bahrain in the middle east are some other places I've played and I want to add more to the list, It's a grand treat to be playing music to another culture"

His live performances are a mixture of solo and (sometimes) layered guitar pieces using a loopstation (JamMan) . Most of his playing style is of a Celtic and folk mix .

"I play almost completely solo guitar, sometimes I use a loop pedal, these are fun. I haven't seen anyone use them so artistically as Gospel guitarist Phil Keaggy, he's got those things sussed. He goes beyond just basic looping like the style that most of us do, the rest of us can only sit back and listen"

"Peter Miller's music paints pictures in the air of the wonders of our planet, the joy of life and the emotions most of us find hard to describe" Charlie McGettigan. Ireland
