1 - Introduce yourself in a few lines

 Greetings, my name is Peter Starker was born in Jamaica, grew up in London. I am actor and a  musician.

 I don’t quite understand the question, but I am in lockdown in my London flat like most of the world and hope you are all safe!

 Sources of inspiration would  be in no particular order, Shakespeare –  Aprè - Jacques Brel – Bob Dylan – Led Zeppelin, The Who– Aretha Franklin – Maria Callis  – Piaf -  Tony Bennet and  so many more!

4 - you take out a collector's box gathering your most significant albums. Why did you wait so long ?

 Something I have always wanted to do and now seems to be the right time!

 5 - the fan community knows that you were a close friend of the late Freddie Mercury. This One's on Me, one of the albums in the box was produced by him. Talk to us about it.

 I thoroughly enjoyed working with both Freddie and Roy Thomas Baker, it was an exciting, collaborative, and experimental adventure. (one I hold very dear)

 6 - Did he participate in the development of the album?

 Yes he did, some of the songs  on the album I  had  already been performing  live. He also encouraged me to write my own songs.

 7 - Is it your vocal range (very lyrical) that brought you closer?

 Who knows it’s possible, I ‘d like to think so?

8 - How did you hear about Freddie Mercury?

 We met at a restaurant in Fulham Road through our mutual managers, we were introduced. The rest is history!

 9 - you participated in the vidéo clip The great pretender . Do you have any anecdotes?

 It was great, it was wonderful. I was rehearsing Cassius in a production of Julius Cesar at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Finished at 6pm drove to London, hair make – up, costumes. Filmed the video throughout the night and returned to Bristol for 10 am rehearsals. Exhausting! but what an experience?

10 - What do you bring to it professionally and humanely?

 I have an eclectic taste in music,  a passion I sing from my soul.

 11 - Do you have a rare anecdote about Freddie?

 He showed me his Fridge In New York packed with Crystal champagne, we drank a lot of it, lol!

 Am a great fan of Adam Lambert and heard him sing on American Idol his range is phenomenal, what a great collaboration.

 “Who Wants to Live  Forever and Love of My life” and why, I like Queen’s material, am a fan!

 14 - Which song from your repertoire do you prefer? And why ?

 Heart Be Still.  I loved Lorraine Ellison’s version of this song and so did Freddie,  so we recorded it.

 I hope so, later this year?
