Peter Hodge

Creator of Bedlam | Bass | Vocalist

While up late one night watching Alan Berliner’s “Wide Awake” he was struck with the idea of creating a rock show about sleep, beds, and sleeps folk law.

He awoke well before daybreak for many months as he composed the songs for Bedlam. Now a wired insomniac he has picked up his bass guitar and learnt to sing the occasional song to take Bedlam to fortune and fame.
