No one´s dead, are they?
Sadly, I heard recently that Peter Boam died in 2006.
Sad to hear Peter Boam has passed way. The first Pulp album is the one I've played the most over the years. I think that's because I played it incessantly when it was first released. I believe Peter played on that album, it's a good one.

Yes, he's all over the It album, playing guitar and piano mainly. He did a lot of the vocal arrangements too. His most notable contribution is probably the piano on Blue Girls.
I got to know him fairly well at one point while I was doing the book. He was a lovely guy, couldn't have been more helpful and supportive. I'm going to post something a bit more substantial about him soon.

i was quite distressed to find this message concerning the supposed passing of peter boam, because peter and i were involved in a serious relationship approximately ten years ago and he remains a very important person in my heart, if not in my life. i was a bit relieved to read you believed he had passed in 2006, however, since i know for a fact he has been both quite well and quite employed in recent months. please do not post reports of the demise of persons you have no personal knowledge of unless those reports have been confirmed. peter was very close to my children and this claim was extremely unsettling to them. thank you.
I'm very sorry if my comments have caused any confusion or distress. They were made in good faith, based on what I was told by the engineer at the studio in Hove who worked closely with Peter on his solo material from 1999 up until 2006. I had no reason to assume what this person told me wasn't accurate. As I mentioned in my posts above, I did get to know Peter quite well at one time, and was very saddened to be told he was no longer with us.
If I was misinformed, then obviously that's fantastic news. If you still have any contact with him, please send him my best wishes and let him know I hope he's well and happy. This probably isn't the best place to discuss the subject further, but if you want to contact me privately my email address is me@mark-sturdy.co.uk.

is it that time of year again already? I'd be happy with anything they have to give! I'm afraid I've given up now on seeing both Pulp and Bowie ever again!
