Notes Peter Spicer was born in Folkestone in 1930 where he lived until the evacuation of Dunkirk when his family moved to Tunbridge Wells. As a boy he went to watch his fathers friends at work, many of whom were craftsmen in various branches of woodwork. It was in their workshops that he learnt his woodworking skills, during this period, he has access to antique furniture and the restoration of antiques. On examining these items, he was often disappointed in the standard of workmanship in the backs, interiors and bottoms. He decided that whatever he made in the future would be of the same standard of workmanship and finish throughout. After National Service, he established a workshop at his home in Tunbridge Wells where he made many items to furnish his own home and for exhibition and competition. He gained many awards, gold and silver medals and prizes at National level for his work. Spicer studied music and violin playing and was able to combine this with his love of woodwork, for many years he was in demand as a repairer and restorer of old and valuable instruments of the string family. For more than twenty five years he cared for the stringed instruments of of The Royal Marines musicians on the Royal yacht Britannia.
