Pete Gardiner Is Impressed By The ‘Pretty Smiles’ Of A Ghost And So Are We

Pete Gardiner 4

Irish singer songwriter Pete Gardiner’s new single, ‘Pretty Smiles’, is accompanied by a cinematic video, which has been inspired by 50s Film Noir. Released via NUA Entertainment, the video reflects Pete’s love for retro, and was shot in a 1920s bar in Manchester, by award-winning director, Alex Taylor.

The video tells the story of a young bartender who falls in love with a ghost, and showcases Pete’s acting and dancing skills in what’s his first professional shooting experience.

‘Pretty Smiles’ is taken from Pete’s forthcoming debut album produced by Mercury Prize winner Tommy McLaughlin from Villagers. The album is due for release later this year and mixed by hitmaker Ash Howes – who worked on singles for Ellie Goulding, Kylie Minogue and Dido.

Pete will be performing an acoustic set tonight at The Bedroom Bar, Shoreditch. See here for further details. He will also be performing a full set at Paper Dress Vintage, again in Shoreditch, on 12th September. For more information check their website.

About the author

There’s a lot of music out there - good music. At Essentially Pop our remit is that we cover music that deserves to be heard, with a particular focus on independent artists. That doesn't mean we won't cover your old favourites - rather we hope to give you some new favourites as well.

We no longer accept unpaid PR agency work. We believe the creative arts have value, and this includes writing. As always, we will write about artists who contact us - or who we contact - for free - but we can no longer work free of charge for PR agencies. We work hard, we put in a lot of hours writing, and we ask that you respect that. Contact us for our very reasonable rates.
