Peter Mitchell presents a melodious, lyrically driven collection of songs which are at once contemporary, yet retrospective. Captivating from the first track, this album draws the listener in. It lets you dance, cry, and yearn for people and places you've known or want to know. Full of surprises, it features some of the countries top musicians, but remains focused to Mitchell's unique vocal character. Sincere and fresh, Hamlet by Night is long overdue.
South African Peter Mitchell lived in Scotland for a few years where he initially performed as a street busker. After being spotted on the streets he was invited to perform at various pubs in Scotland. Mitchell was impressed with and inspired by these pub scenes, as everyone would gather for exuberant partying and celebrations, especially over weekends.
Back home Mitchell is in constant demand for corporate gigs and has performed at events for major brands including SASOL at Tri-Nation matches across South Africa. He was also invited by Springbok Coach Jake White to perform during an event for him and his team in Bloemfontein in 2004.
