Berkshire Culture Connect with Tomson is back with a special spotlight on Peter Doyle - a true Reading original.
He’s a guitarist, mentor, businessman, and community hero who’s been shaping Reading’s music scene for decades.
From founding Rock Academy - where countless local musicians got their start - to launching his new Play Guitar Project
Now, after winning the Pride of Reading Awards' Local Hero Award, Pete joins us to talk about his journey, his passion for teaching, and his latest venture - opening a shop in Reading town centre where anyone can swap, rent, or recycle guitars
