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 circuit Trio DRIVE. The decision was taken to reform Pete Mitchells DRIVE after a great response to Pete's book 'Outside Looking In' and his 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 Surrey UK, and are currently gigging and touring the UK and Europe. Playing Rocking Blues 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. Pete Mitchells DRIVE are an exciting trio of well travelled musicians with a fine pedigree, who are quite simply making music, entertaining, and having a great time doing it. In March 2008 Pete 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 13,000 hits on YOU TUBE he is building up a steady following and gaining more interest across the UK. The new trio played their amazing 'ROADHOUSE' tour in March 2009, and have just returned from their Holland and Belgium Mini- tour in May 2009. More Festival details on Home page.
