Roly Platt: Pete Pedersen Lifetime Achievement Award Nomination

I’m truely humbled that I’ve been nominated for the Pete Pedersen Lifetime Achievement Award for the US’s SPAH international harmonica convention.

Nominees for 2022:

John Mayall
Roly Platt
Phil Wiggins
Jerry Fierro
Buddy Greene
Ronnie Shellist

To even be considered for this award and to be included in this list of greats means a ton to me.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Pete Pedersen in Toronto many years. So this nomination in his name is especially cool.

What They Say…

“I’ve only recently discovered Roly and his fantastic playing. I needed a harp session in a hurry here in the UK, and although half a world away, Roly did the most amazing e-session for me in superquick time, recorded a superb performance, and I now have his number on speed-dial ! I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“I have worked with Roly Platt for over 30 years in many different musical situations. He is a first class musician and a first class human being.

He is, simply put, one of the best musicians I have ever worked with. He’s blessed with amazing technical skills but he also has great taste, feel and musical instincts that can… Read more
