Peter Elliott, acclaimed for his mesmerising tribute to Stevie Wonder on TV’s ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ in 1992, has captivated audiences with a performance that not only won him the show but also solidified his place as a premier tribute artist. His act encompasses a wide array of Stevie Wonder's classics, including hits like 'I Just Called to Say I Love You', 'Superstition', 'Sir Duke', and 'Isn’t She Lovely', among many others. Peter's ability to evoke the essence of Wonder's music, combined with his engaging stage presence, has made his tribute shows a must-see. Moreover, Peter’s repertoire extends beyond Wonder’s hits, featuring performances as George Michael, where he brings to life both the upbeat dance tracks and the smooth ballads that defined the pop icon’s career.
Beyond the confines of tribute shows, Peter Elliott's versatility as an entertainer shines through in his extensive set lists that include songs from a variety of other celebrated artists like Lionel Richie, Luther Vandross, and Prince, to modern bands and solo artists such as Coldplay, The Script, and John Legend. This eclectic mix ensures that Peter's performances are always fresh and appealing to a broad audience. His shows, which can be either a single 60-minute performance or two 45-minute sets, showcase his dynamic range and ability to connect with audiences through the power of music. Peter's talent has not only endeared him to fans across the UK but has also made him a sought-after act in many foreign countries.
Peter's journey into the world of music and performance began in his early teens, a journey significantly influenced by his upbringing in a musically inclined family. His father, a roadie for Sir Tom Jones, and his early participation in a 40-strong church gospel choir, where he sang lead at just 15, laid the foundation for his future in music. These experiences not only honed his vocal skills but also instilled in him a passion for performing that would guide his career. It's this passion and a natural flair for capturing the essence of the artists he pays tribute to that have propelled Peter to the forefront of the tribute act scene.
Peter Elliott's contributions to the world of tribute performances have not gone unnoticed. His travels across the UK and internationally, along with performances for high-profile clients like Manchester United Football Club, highlight the demand for his talent.
