"Pete Kircher was the second Status Quo drummer from 1982 to 1985.
After John Coghlan called it a day a drummer was urgently needed, because the band was deep into recording sessions for the album “1+9+8+2”.
Francis Rossi remembered Pete Kircher from studio sessions and he joined the band.
In his short Quo period he took part in some of the biggest gigs ever played by the three-chord legends.
He was drummer on the legendary “End of the Road” tour in 1984 and performed at Live Aid in 1985 which was his last gig with Status Quo."

It seems that Pete just wants to avoid Quo related things to be honest. He did a Honey Bus reunion around 2003 and then went off to do his sign writing... and completely dodge the Hello Quo doc and sent a letter to Alan Parker saying why. From what I know he just wanted to keep a quiet life or so the story goes

Pete was a very quiet life kind of guy IIRR. He did a good job, they didn't call him back after the kerfuffle, he went off and did his own thing. I can't even tell which one is Pete in the Honeybus pics. Mind you that is the 1970s 40 years ago ... a bit before he wanted to become anonymous

Pete was the drummer for Original Mirrors. In 1981 there was a compilation called Songs For Young Moderns released in Australia. Original Mirrors had a track on there which I liked a lot. He might be a good drummer, it's just a shame that whoever miked up his kit on the 1982 album did such a poor job. I liked the album even though some tracks were a bit twee and corny/ daggy, that's part of QUO's charm. The drum sound was 1/10.

Pete "Check out my side breezers" Kircher didn't play on the 1+9+8+2 album. That accolade goes to the studio lavvy cleaner, a Mr Roland TR808, from Daventry. This is the same source that says man didn't set foot on the moon? Cheers

Pete was excellent live and the only gig that truly shows that off is Milton Keynes... the N.E.C gig he was just getting his legs with Quo

Everyone says the NEC version of Forty Five Hundred Times is the best... that might be so length wise, but if the Milton Keynes version was never cut up.... it'd piss all over that version. Pete could make a kit shake like fuck when playing yet I've seen a few say he wasn't a powerful player.. what a load of BS For that short time he was in Quo he did a brilliant job even though he wasn't captured well/at all on the albums at the time Edit; another reason the Milton Keynes version would win is because that night every single member of that band put all they had into every single song they performed. I can tell you this as well... Pete dropped his stick during Over The Edge and I can guarantee you never noticed

My favourite performance of 4500X was on the End Of The Road tour at Leicester De Montford Hall, quite sublime!
