Peter Nunn is the "New"
Keyboardplayer in Honeymoon Suite
Hello Peter! How are things in the
Honeymoon Suite"camp"right now
Things are great. Just returned from a successful tour of
Western
Canada - 17 cities in 20 days!
Can you tell us if there will be a new CD soon
?We have all been waiting for 8 years now and we would love to hear a new album
from you guys !!
It
depends what you mean by 'soon'. Put it this way - it won't be another 8
years!! We've got enough new material for 3 or 4 CDs but only want to
release the best.
What are
Honeymoon Suite´s future plans ?
To keep rockin'! We've got plenty of live gigs
coming up, including the Millenium Party for the City of Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada. New songs are regularly being demo'd and added to the set.
Looking for a new deal if the right one comes along.
Can you tell us about your musical background
before you joined
Honeymoon Suite! You have been playing with Gowan
right?
Right. Joined
Larry in 1984 and played all keys but piano (he took care of that!) with him
until '87. Then I joined 'The Jitters' and toured
extensively with them
and recorded the album/CD 'Louder Than Words', including my song 'Now I'm Free'
co-written and produced by Jules Shear (The Bangles, Cyndi Lauper).
See my page for more bands I've played with.http://www.honeymoonsuite.com/peternun.htm
How did you get the "job"as keyboardist in
H-S? And is it true that you are a cousin of Ray Coburn ? (If so do you know
what Ray are doing now?)
I
actually auditioned for HMS way back when Ray first left - they liked my playing
and asked if I could start playing right away but I was already booked and
making fairly good money as a sideman with Gowan at the time so I didn't take
them up on their offer. Almost 10 years later, after Ray had
returned, he had to leave again and once again recommended me for the job. And
yes, Ray is my cousin (by marriage; his mother's sister married my mother's
brother.) Funny thing is, we only met through the music business! Ray just
finished almost a year of touring with Crash Test Dummies. He
also
developed, produced and managed budding singer/songwriter, Dayna Manning
and is currently working on new projects.
What can you tell us about the Website (http://www.pianofun.com/)
How
long have you been having this business?
Not my own website - if you visit you'll find out all
about it. I just
recently started teaching workshops using the method
described there and have my own page.http://www.pianofun.com/schedule/Nunn.html
...
apart from pianofun, I've just recently hooked up with an online
music
school, where I teach one on one right over the internet in real time! Check
this out...
