15th April 2006: Peter will be busking for the queue for Cambridge Folk Festival tickets on Sunday 30th April, at the invitation of the CFF management.

Peter is also doing various dates around the country as part of Robin Ince's Book Club tour in Spring 2006. His is a humble supporting role to the great, the magnificent and the strange.

15th April 2006: Peter's one-man show for the Edinburgh Fringe 2006 is called How Much Longer Can He Get Away With This?. Peter's been attempting to write one song about the events of each month of 2006, and these will feature in the show. London previews will be arranged. PBH And Some Comedians will celebrate its tenth anniversary at the 2006 Fringe.

14th April 2006: PBH founded and pioneered the Free Fringe at Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Fringe is entirely financed by the personal losses made by performers. With the Free Fringe, performers lose less and the audience gets free shows, with the opportunity to give to a collection -- pay what they think a show is worth. After a massively successful 2005, the Free Fringe returns in 2006 with over 60 shows in four venues. Inventing the Free Fringe is one of PBH's proudest achievements.

11th September 2005: Photographs of Cambridge 2005 and 2004 by Shaun Esgate, George Crawford and Neil King; click here. Updates on Edinburgh 2005 and Cambridge 2005 coming soon. Performers list at PBHASC updated here. 4th July 2005: Peter states this: I am not a spammer. I don't sell fake watches, Viagra or any of the other shit you're getting bulk emails about. Somebody's spoofing my email address to send millions (it must be, judging by the number of bounce messages I'm getting) of spam. It's not me. Believe me, I'm even more annoyed about it than you are. This is effectively identity theft. There doesn't seem to be any way of stopping it, but I'm not responsible. Sorry. 28th November 2004: Antique media sale. I still have cassette versions of Official Bootleg and Torn Between Two Plovers. They might as well be wax cylinders. If you want these cassette versions, to play in your car or to threaten your children with, I'm selling them off for £2 each including p&p. Send cheque and letter to the address on the recordings page.

4th November 2004: This is for ADRIAN SCOTT only. Everybody else: don't read it. I have your shirt. Washed. Email me and give me some info where to send it. Without this information it's difficult to give it back. Love'n'peace PBH

21st July 2004: For some reason, my site (this one) is given as a destination in a German sex contact site called Kontaktparadies. I have no idea how this happened. If that's how you got here, you must at this point be feeling massive disappointment. You pay; you click on the picture of a scantily-clad woman; my site comes up. Tut mir Leid, meine Herren. Nothing to do with me.

1st January 2002: First ever vote received for best comedian at PBH And Some Comedians. Score now Zeron Gibson 1, the rest 0.

14th June 2001: The new CD, Buckets Within Buckets is now available, price £10 plus £1 p&p. Go to the recordings page for details.

13th July 2000: THE NEW T-SHIRTS

The home page of Peter Buckley Hill, comedian, comic songwriter, raconteur, wit, excellent shag. Some of the above is true.

This site mostly contains bits on the Edinburgh Fringe and the Cambridge Folk Festival, but there are other jolly spiffing bits, including the secret of the Universe. Gigs change so frequently that it's not worth listing them here, but you can always email Peter at peter@buckers.co.uk for current performance details. If you don't know who Peter is (and how on earth did you find this page if you didn't? It must be some groovy cosmic vibe that led you here) he's chiefly remarkable for running FREE COMEDY at the otherwise overpriced Edinburgh Fringe, and for some legendary performances at Cambridge. He'd be the Manchester United of musical comedy, if he had gigs. The only person to write 17 bird songs, each stranger than the one before (only of you play them in that order, of course).
