PETER COX OF POP DUO GO WEST REFLECTS ON A LOVE AFFAIR WITH SOLO SONGWRITING THAT HAS LASTED NEARLY THREE DECADES
JORDAN BASSETT
Peter Cox releases a solo career-spanning anthology in September
Since the late 90s, Peter Cox has enjoyed a fulfilling solo career away from Go West, the duo he formed with Richard Drummie in 1982. While the group still tour the world with their 80s hits, Peter has never lost the desire to create new music. His forthcoming compilation album, The Deep Dive – Anthology 1997-2024, is a testament to this restless creativity.
How’s it felt, looking back on your solo career for this album?
It’s been an interesting process and has reminded me how much of the time I have effectively been an independent artist, funding my own recording career. That’s been the case with the majority of the material – I’ve therefore enjoyed a greater degree of creative control.
