Brian Peters (born 15 December 1954)[1] is an English folk singer and multi-instrumentalist.[2] He is known particularly for his interpretations of the Child Ballads and his researches in the traditional music of the North-East of England. He is acknowledged[by whom?] as one of England's leading exponents of the Anglo Concertina and melodeon.

He was born in Stockport, Cheshire, England.[1] Peters is best known in the folk clubs of England, but has also taken his performances to festival and concert stages all over the world, often touring in America, Europe and Australia. He has been described in the folk press as "one of British folk music's finest ambassadors".[3]

He has made many recordings, from the concertina-centred Anglophilia to the ballad-themed Songs of Trial and Triumph.[1] He is also the melodeon player heard on the TV cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants.[4]
