If you can say nothing else about Peter he certainly profoundly affected many young guitarists (me included )and his influence has continued through them !
Also ,not that it's really to do with Peter ,but the |Powell article mentions the Night of Guitars and as it happens I was there at the Hammersmith Odeon (now called the Hammersmith Apollo)¬ taking photos !

I was huge WA fan growing up. I was lucky enough to catch them on the last tour of the first incarnation (Good thing, as TT was one of my favorite guitarists).
I recall him mentioning the PG influence as well in some US periodical (which one it was escapes me).
