Pete Woods Repair Shop

Pete Woods is a percussion and musical instrument repairer on BBC’s The Repair Shop.

In December 2022, a Grimsby-born musician appeared on BBC ‘s Repair Shop to get her late mother’s 100-year-old cornet restored.

Over the summer, Hazel Barnes, 57, made an appearance on the popular television programme alongside her father John to see if she if could get her beloved family heirloom serviced by professionals. Time had clearly taken its toll on the instrument as it was practically unplayable due to the valves ceasing and there being several dents.

Before getting to work on the restoration, Repair Shop’s Pete Woods said the “valves are so slow it’s untrue”. The cornet has always held a special place in Ms Barnes’ heart as it was used by her mother Kath during her time in Cleethorpes Band.

Kath sadly died in 2019 but passed on her favourite instrument to her daughter. “It was so beaten and in a bad state of repair so we decided to contact BBC Repair shop to see if they could help,” Hazel told Grimsby Live.

“The most important thing for us was that it was playable and they did an absolutely marvelous job,” added the 57-year-old. After the repairs had been done, Ms Barnes even treated the show’s team to a quick tune in the barn.
