Welcome

Happy New Year to you all!  Thanks for visiting the Peter Aston website and welcome to the January 2022 update.  Well, the Christmas Day and New Year's Eve celebrations have come and passed and we're now into the New Year.  A big 'Thank You' for supporting my various activities during the challenging past year and who know's what's around the corner this year - although we can be certain that we don't have to face anything completely alone.

At Holtwood Methodist Church we're continuing to stream our Covid secure live services and these are also streamed on our Facebook page which is:-

As a member of the Stewards' Team for the Christchurch & Wimborne Methodist Circuit I help to support churches across East Dorset and the New Forest and have particular responsibility for assisting the congregations at Blandford and Ringwood.  Some of the churches in our area are facing real challenges and, together, we'll be seeking new opportunities for worship in the coming months and years.

And, if you're visiting this site for the first time, a quick introduction - I'm Peter Aston, a Christian singer/songwriter and worship leader based at Holtwood Methodist Church which is a welcoming, evangelical church in an idyllic location near Wimborne, close to the south coast of England.  As a member of HMB I also play guitar, sing and help to lead services at churches in and around Dorset.

I'm delighted to present two programmes for Forest FM, based in East Dorset, which broadcasts on 92.3FM and 98.9FM.  'Forest Folk' is on air at 8.00 on Mondays, the programme streams at www.forestfm.co.uk and you can also listen-again from Tuesdays at www.mixcloud.com/ForestFolk/  And then on Friday evenings at 7.00 I present '33 and a Third' which is an hour of classic and rarely-heard album tracks.  Again this programme is streamed and is also available to listen-again on Mixcloud. 

I'm also the caller/guitarist/singer for the Cottage Industry ceilidh band, a solo singer/songwriter and a medieval wandering minstrel known as Master Peter of Fayrewood.  As a solo entertainer I appear at many retirement homes and day centres and for charitable and other events, singing everything from war-time sing-along classics, through the 50's & 60's pop songs to traditional and original songs.
