Peter Noone's voice and personality
are the backbone of Herman's Hermits, one of pop's undisputed classic
bands. His career with that popular recording act has sold well
over sixty million records.
Noone is a multi-talented entertainer who has been delighting audiences
nearly all his life. He was born in Manchester, England, where he
studied voice and acting at St. Bede's College and the Manchester
School of Music and Drama. As a child, he played "Stanley Fairclough"
in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street.
He was also featured in the television series Knight Errant,
Family Solicitor and Monro's Saki Stories.
At the age of fifteen, Peter achieved international fame as "Herman",
lead singer of the legendary sixties pop band Herman's Hermits.
His classic hits included: "I'm Into Something Good" "Mrs. Brown,
you've Got A Lovely Daughter", "I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am", "Silhouettes",
"Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Just A Little Bit Better", "Wonderful
World", "There's A Kind of Hush", "A Must To Avoid", "Listen People",
"The End of the World" and "Dandy". Ultimately, Herman's Hermits
sold over sixty million recordings. In all, fourteen singles and
seven albums went gold. The Hermits were twice named Cashbox's "Entertainer
of the Year".
As "Herman", the photogenic Noone graced the cover of nearly every
international publication, including Time Magazine. He performed
on hundreds of top-rated television programs and appeared with such
luminaries as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny
Kaye. He also starred in ABC's musical version of The Canterville
Ghost, Hallmark Hall of Fame's presentation of the classic Pinocchio
(in which he played the title role) and three highly successful
feature films for M-G-M: Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter,
Hold On! and When The Boys Meet The Girls.
Throughout the seventies, Noone performed, composed songs and produced
recordings with such artists as David Bowie and Debby Boone. His
album with the Tremblers, "Twice Nightly" and his solo effort "One
of The Glory Boys" were both critically and commercially successful.
With characteristic zeal, Peter took on leading roles in full-scale
theatrical productions of Dick Wittington, Aladdin,
and Sinbad The Sailor. These live stage spectaculars were
mounted at major theatres throughout Great Britain and Noone was
highly praised for his outstanding work.
The eighties found Peter starring on Broadway in the New York Shakespeare
Festival's production of The Pirates of Penzance. He won
rave reviews for his superb portrayal of the dashing young hero,
"Frederic". His performance was so well received, that he went on
to reprise the role at the world-famous Drury Lane Theatre in London.
Noone charmed audiences worldwide as he continued to play "Frederic"
with both the U.S. National Touring Company and the International
Touring Company of "Pirates".
Peter's acting career flourished with guest-starring roles in prime-time
television shows such as: Married With Children, My Two
Dads, Quantum Leap, Dave's World, Easy Street,
Too Close For Comfort and Laverne and Shirley. He
also starred in the Los Angeles stage premiere of Topokana Martyr's
Day and the U.S. National Tour of the smash Broadway hit Romance,
Romance.
For four years, Noone served as the winsome host of VH1's My Generation,
the highest-ever-rated half hour retrospective of popular music.
He also hosted the informative PBS Special The British Invasion
Returns and recorded the title song for the Kirk Douglas film
Diamonds. Most recently, Noone starred in the recurring role
of "Paddington" on the CBS daytime drama, As The World Turns.
His colorful performances instantly made him a favorite of the soap
opera magazines and online message boards.
Accompanied by his band, Herman's Hermits, Noone consistently plays
to sold-out venues the world over. He has a legion of faithful fans
whose loyalty is unparalleled. Today's teen girls scream just as
passionately as their mothers did back in 1965, prompting VH1 to
select Peter as their viewer's choice for the "Sexiest Artist of
the Year". Noone's ability to charm is one reason his career is
still going strong today. His love for his fans and his genuine
enthusiasm for his repertoire have kept him one of the most consistent
performers of the new millennium, appearing around the world in
over 200 concerts a year.
