Peter Perrett

UNDER THE INFLUENCE brings singer-songwriter and former The Only Ones frontman, Peter Perrett, to Hull.

As the leader of The Only Ones in the late ’70s, he was one of the new wave’s most enigmatic cult figures, his songs combined a razor-sharp sense of melody and a dark, sardonic wit, making him one of the more unique voices of the era.

His solo albums reflect on the years that have passed since, with his uniquely narcotic and alluring melodies, gorgeous South London drawl, and ravishing rock dynamic now allied to a wider span of musical arrangements and lyrical concerns.
