In 1998 DRIVE came off the road after a solid 10 year period gigging and touring. In 2007 after a break, mainly writing/ recording and chilling out in his French farmhouse retreat, Pete decided to reform his popular Bluzy Rock Trio DRIVE
The decision was taken to reform Pete Mitchells DRIVE after a great response to Pete's book 'Outside Looking In' and CD 'Cutting The Mustard'. Both have received excellent reviews from around the world. Trax from the CD are now being played in the set
Pete Mitchells DRIVE are based in the South UK, and are currently gigging and touring the UK and Europe. Playing Bluzy Rock covers by artists such as Clapton, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Stones, JJ Cale, Frankie Miller, Johnny Winter, Bob Segar, Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top etc, and also playing original tracks off Pete's solo CD Cutting The Mustard.
Since March 2008 Pete Mitchells DRIVE have successfully toured the South West on his DESTINY tour, followed by the BUZZ tour in October 2008, and a Mini-tour in Gloucester and Hereford in November 2008
Encouraged by this and over 24,000 hits on YOU TUBE the band are building up a steady following and gaining more interest across the UK
