Side A · Track 1
Peter John Whitmore
Disabled songwriter, with a passion for music and technology.
I returned to my first love of songwriting at 55, drawing on a life of experience and influences from folk, punk, indie, pop, jazz and loads more. This is my story, set to music.
Liner notes
My story, in two sides
I hope you enjoy it.
Side A · Before the songs
- 1969
I was born to Nora and Peter John Whitmore, the middle of five sons. I was always singing and dancing, and yearning to go into the performing arts.
- Age 16
I left to become a soldier in the British Army.
- Age 20
Just after getting married and experiencing the birth of my son, I broke my neck.
- Then
Never one to take the status quo as given, and with the help of my amazing wife, I got back on track and managed to get my Masters in Information Technology.
Side B · The second chance
- 2024
It all began one morning, when I chose to write the lyrics in my head down, then sing, develop and release them.
- Now
Combining the two passions of music and IT, I am writing songs and, with the help of technology, turning them into something I am proud to share with the world.

The small print, up front
Made with technology
I write every lyric myself. I then use Suno to compose the music for them, the way another writer might use a studio band. It is part of the story, so it is credited here.
