Born in Reading, England, I nurtured my passion for music in England playing both the piano and clarinet. Experiences in the studio and playing live helped me develop my songwriting skills which I continued to do when I moved to Italy. The piano lies at the cornerstone of my musical expression.
Influenced deeply by the expressive works of Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans, as well as the harmonies of Ludovico Einaudi, my compositions strive to capture the essence of raw emotions and honesty as well as nuances of feeling. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, and Nick Drake, my melodies and songs reflect richness of harmony that express depths of human experiences. In chords and lyrics, I endeavor to touch and convey the essence of emotions. What’s always important for me is to connect with and touch the heart of the listener.
In the words one of my great musical heroes and influences Nick Drake, who strove for such a connection: “if only I could feel that my music has helped anyone at all” (Nick Drake) Tragically, he felt saddened by his own perceived lack in doing this. I hope that I can make a difference, however small, to others with my music and this website.

This is a concert version with live band and narration of the music and songs from a musical inspired by ‘The Little Prince’ by Antoine di Saint-Exupéry. The musical was originally performed twice in 1998 (Teatro Shalom, Empoli) and in Florence in 1999.
A rich mixture of styles from classical to pop-rock as well as music hall numbers. Piano ballads and jazz/blues pieces reflect this diverse musical journey. A lively and fun musical performance with narration featuring:
Music and songs: Peter Dulborough. Keyboards: Peter Dulborough Guitars: Samuele Cangi; Martina Magionami; Matteo Castrati
Horns: Samuele Cangi Flute: Emily Woodroof Vocals: Peter Dulborough; Natia Lortkiphanidze; Marie Delfino; Martina Magionami; Brenda Roepke; Yedidya K. A. Koffi
“ ‘Time to Leave’ is the penultimate song of the musical. A bittersweet journey that combines the hope and joy of the return of the Prince to his Rose with the melancholy and wistful feeling of ‘letting go.’ It is a very emotional song as it comprises so much of my life as an English born musician living in Italy and encompasses the return to my musical after 25 years.
Samuele Cangi was the guiding influence on this track from creating the initial drum track and rhythm to shaping the sound and effects and sharing the lead vocals”
