Peter Appleyard’s show-stopping performances never fail to thrill audiences, as
they have for over five decades. A versatile studio percussionist and nightclub/
TV personality in Toronto, he moved to Canada in 1951 as a drummer and
soon turned to the vibraphone.
Appleyard’s TV shows included the CBC’s Mallets and Brass (1969, with flugelhornist Guido Basso) and the syndicated Peter Appleyard Presents (197780). Appleyard, who has conducted his Canadian career with a keen instinct
for popular tastes, has recorded several light-instrumental albums, including Swing Fever (1982), as well as the jazz CDs Barbados Hot and Barbados
Cool (1990). His version of The Lincolnshire Poacher was a pop hit in the early
1970s. Appleyard has worked abroad with Benny Goodman, Dick Hyman, Mel
Tormé, Bob Wilber and other noted US jazz musicians.
