Immerse yourself in the sophisticated musical world of one of Britain’s most cherished singer-songwriters with the 1978 self-titled album, "Skellern." Released on Mercury Records, this LP is a perfect showcase of Peter Skellern’s unique ability to blend dry British wit with profound musical romanticism. At a time when punk and disco dominated the airwaves, Skellern stayed true to his roots, delivering a record filled with melodic craftsmanship and timeless elegance.

The album features a masterful mix of original compositions and stylistic nods to the Great American Songbook. Skellern’s piano-led arrangements are often bolstered by his signature use of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band and lush vocal harmonies, creating a sound that is both intimate and grand. Tracks like "Love is the Sweetest Thing" highlight his penchant for reviving the charm of the 1930s, while his original lyrics offer a poignant, often humorous look at life and love in the late 70s.
