Peter and Kerry
BOOK NOW
Peter and Kerry’s story is one of parallel paths, creative synergy, and quiet resilience. Both artists began their journeys in very different places—Kerry Leatham in a vibrant, music-filled household in Colchester, Essex, and Peter Lyons in Southampton, recording demos with borrowed tape recorders and hand-me-down instruments. Yet in 2010, fate (and the revered indie label Tape Club Records) brought them together.
Their debut EP Clothes, Friends, Photos was recorded in Peter’s bedroom and released with no grand plan—just two friends with a shared love for The Simpsons, Fleetwood Mac, and late-night rooftop conversations. The chemistry was immediate. Their homespun sound, both intimate and raw, quickly gained support from BBC Radio 1, 6Music, XFM, and mainstream TV, leading to festival slots, tours with artists like Lianne La Havas and Laura Mvula, and millions of organic streams.
After releasing their debut album La Trimouille in 2012, the duo paused their collaboration for nearly a decade. In that time, their careers flourished separately: Peter wrote music for contemporary dance, film, and the English National Ballet, while Kerry—also known under the solo moniker Roseau—worked on film soundtracks, co-wrote and remixed for artists like Groove Armada, Shura, and Lapalux, and released a critically acclaimed album on Ninja Tune.
Now, older, wiser, and reunited, Peter and Kerry return with You, Me and the Moon—a bold, handcrafted album that embraces imperfection, honesty, and the physicality of sound. Blending high-end digital tools with reel-to-reel tape machines, toy cassette recorders, and BBC ribbon mics from the 1960s, the record feels as real and raw as the lives it reflects.
The album explores themes of identity, disillusionment, and connection in an increasingly disjointed world. It’s not just a comeback—it’s a redefinition. As independent artists once again, Peter and Kerry continue to build something wholly their own: reflective, melodic, and fearlessly human.
