[edit] Peterson's age
I'm writing on the german wikipedia article about Gilles Peterson. Gilles' birthday seems to be a secret. I can find this date nowhere in the web. Anyone knows more. Please contact me at my user page at the german wikipedia: de:Benutzer:Trainspotter. --Trainspotter 09:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- That's what I was going to ask - how old is the man?!! Labcoat 22:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- After a little searching I've discovered this: Peterson in the following interview says that he was about 18 or 19 when he was asked to dj at the first Bognor soul weekender [1]. On the Caister Soul Weekender website [2] it says the event moved from Caister to Bognor in 1980. I know this is true because I've been around that scene many years and written about Caister on the Jazz-funk article. so that makes Peterson about 44 or 45 now - I know he's older than 40, I just can't source it anywhere for definite.

How about adding his school on the page?
[edit] Expansion
I believe there's a lot more detail to Peterson's career, so I've added some new sub-headings, hopefully editors will consider adding to this. It's perhaps worth writing a separate section on his involvement with various labels, including his new one Brownswood. Escaper7 07:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
