Memorable gig at the Star and Garter, must have been 1982 or 3, On the Mekong and, I think, 'I owe my soul to the company store'all deep and menacing drums

I had the privilege of working with Peter in the MFCO department at the University of Otago between 2011 and 2014. A calm presence and a generous personality, easy to laugh with and chat to; I always finished a conversation with Peter feeling better about the world. When I think of Peter I think of a pristine copy of Dick Hebdige's Subculture: the meaning of style, Don Lett's documentaries and rousing renditions of Timberjack's Come to the Sabbath'. Peter is a great person; we'll all miss him a lot.
