@ petermurphreak The guitar player is Jay Price, but both of Peter's sons are very talanted musicians, on guitar and bass respectively. Both play in a band called Strangefruit now.
Peter, you are brilliant. I don't yet own Woke Up Sticky but am going to get it just for this song. Your somewhat unorthodox dress sense, gloriously evident here, is yet another thing to love about the most individual individual in pop music. The fact that you are clearly a cat person and I am more of a dog devotee shall not come between us. Please tour soon with The Only Ones!
Ironically, I heard somewhere that the song "Out There in The Night" was written about Peter's "runaway cat"!!! ( so it sounds like our boy was a BIG CAT LOVER!!!...Lol!!!...) I've been to London a couple of times in the past ( mostly at either "Heaththrow" or "Gatwick" ) but I have seen a bit of your town ( are you "familiar" with an area called: "Carter Lane"??... I used to stay at a big "youth hostel" in that London neighborhood but this was back in the 80's!!!...) Anyway, Peter RULES!!!...
I wonder if the young guy playing the guitar here is one of Peter's two sons ( Peter Jr or Jamie??...) When you were Peter's "neighbor" was he living alone or did he have a "family"??... Such a TALENTED musician who's never really gotten the RECOGNITION he DESERVES!!!.... Peter is often IMITATED but will NEVER be SURPASSED from the late 70's to the year 5000!!!....
@petermurphreak hello mate, sorry it's steptoes aunt, got a different user name now. Back to Peter, well he had his missus who was/ is his manager. You're right about not getting recognition, look at this video, 10,000 odd hits, and a video of a cat playing piano or something gets about 48 million hits.
How can someone fit such an AMAZING LYRICAL EPIC in only fucking 3:42 min.??!!!... Peter Perrett must COSMICALLY connect with me at night and use some of my very own THOUGHTS for his "lyrics"!!!...( like when I'm DREAMING about MY GOD another "Peter" by the way of "Murphy" and him fucking totally MELTING in MY MOUTH!!!...) This here is not a "song" but a MUSICAL COSMIC JOURNEY into another DIMENSION!!!...Peter Perrett is a fucking GENIUS!!!...
@petermurphreak he is, i agree, just to think, he used to live down the road from me, saw him all the time, always wore shades no matter what, i so regret not telling him what a legend i thought he was.
@steptoesaunt...That's fucking GREAT that you were "neighbors" with Peter back then!!! ( how long ago was this??...) His songs have always BLOWN MY MIND from the very first album I bought from "The Only Ones" back in the 80's....Peter is a LYRICAL GENIUS, no doubt about it!!!... I often thought that if he hadn't had all those "drug addictions" he could've looked MUCH BETTER!!! ( he wasn't a "bad-looking" guy at all...) I've always thought that he looked a bit like "Richard Butler"!!!...
@petermurphreak well it was back in the 90's when i lived in Forest Hill SE London, i'd see him about but he was majorly reclusive, he had two houses in the same street, both falling to bits! you're right about his drug habit, if it wern't for that smack habit he'd probably be alot more well known too, lyrical genius, that first couple of Only Ones albums were full of amazing songs that blow your mind absoloutley 'Breaking Down' 'Another Girl Another Planet' so many. woke up sticky is great.
That was actually very good indeed. I'm surprised. Must get the album. Saw The Only Ones coupla years ago at Camden. What the hell has happened to Peter's voice? Sounds like he's snorting helium.

@diino000... If they "inherited" at least some of their father's INCREDIBLE TALENT then they must be some excellent musicians too!!!...
