We lost a wonderful, local musician.
The late Pete Ham. RIP.

Great song.

Peter was a lovely guy,, and taken far too soon - tucked up by the music industry.

What a terrific guitarist - Peter was one of the best.

All I can say is ...

"You can take the boy out of Swansea, but you can't take Swansea out of the boy."

RIP "Piggy"

The band were truly ripped off, such a dreadful waste of life. Two suicides, can’t be a coincidence, both must have been a consequence of the treatment they received by their “handlers” (management).

It's so sad, his wife was heavily pregnant at the time of his death, and his daughter Petera was born a month after he passed away.

He left a suicide note, exposing their business manager Stan Polley.

Would have been Pete’s birthday today.
