Filthy Pedro tells tales about things close to his heart. Seeing as that varies from librarians, history, sex and rock'n roll it's clear to see his home is in antifolk. That and his dodgy vocals and guitar playing.

A pioneer of the UK Antifolk scene, Filthy can regularly be seen on the antifolk circuit propping up the bars or one of the other acts.
