Infact most people were blissfully unaware of the undercurrents .
True friends of Pete such as Nathan and Jack playing keyboards ,more than made up for it. And Pete dealt with it so well and so proffessionally that he would have only gained respect from any on-looker not linked to DF (unlike the journo friend of theirs they were hanging out with)!!
I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised (having heard the DF stuff) just how good Pete's voice is and his stage-presence is unbelievable...he owns that stage when he's on there!!!”

I'm disappointed by all this ..... why did the DF gang turn up if all they were doing was to barrack him. Pete had the good grace to rise above it all, but still it must sadden him that people who he called friends had it in them to do that.
If they are so bitter that their friend has managed to elevate himself from cloakroom attendant at that venue to performing on the stage, they should have just stayed away. They have more front than Brighton to turn up with a double agenda.
WAS? What? Did he DIE!!! (sorry guys.. it cuaght me off beam!!)
