Peter & Sharron Snell

Peter first learned to play the guitar while a teenager during the fabulous 60’s, inspired by Chet Atkins, the Beatles, and countless great musicians of early rock and roll.

Having played in several bands over the years, Peter is presently involved with “PS and the Silhouettes” as well as a popular eight-piece “doo-wop” group, the “Beaumonts.” Peter composed and recorded a children’s CD in 1996 entitled simply, “I Like To Sing Songs.”

Back in 1986, he wrote and recorded, “White Wonder,” about the unique population of white squirrels which reside in Exeter, Ontario. Peter has appeared on TV on the New PL, Rogers cable, CBC /
Radio as well as live concerts including the Western Fair and the London International Children’s Festival.
Peter’s current projects include a song to promote London’s Victoria Park and their black squirrels.

He has led instrumental bands, vocal choirs, and staged many full-scale musical shows from “Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat” to several Gilbert and Sullivan classics.
