Peter Buckley performs set on the top of the Hoad

Peter Buckley live-streamed his performance on Facebook as viewers were treated to his acoustic rock music, which he normally plays on the streets in the centre of Ulverston.

At the beginning of his performance, he gave viewers a panoramic shot from the top of the monument before starting.

He said: "Just wanted to show you the view because it is absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything like it in my life."

He then performed a song called Long Way Home. He had to tune his guitar after his first song as it was so warm at the top of the monument. He played The River by Bruce Springsteen, followed by the rest of his set. 

Peter was invited to perform in the monument, which dates back to 1850, by the lighthouse keeper Graham Scrogham.

He praised the sound he got in the monument.

He said: "I had an amazing time up on the Hoad. I’ve never actually been up to the top of the monument, such a beautiful spot. I was joking with Graham I think it was the best monitor in the world. I could hear everything perfectly, I played my best. It was an especially good gig for Graham since he invited me up."

Peter said he was nervous before the gig.

"I know the monument means a lot to the locals. The level I wanted to play at was very, very high. With the acoustics in there, I could actually do it. What a magical evening, easily one of the best evenings of my life. It was just amazing," he said. 

The busker said that he walked to the top of Hoad Hill daily during the pandemic and often used that as his chance to think of melodies and lyrics for his music.
