I met Peter Noone at one of those oldies shows once at the Concord Pavilian. Real down-home personable guy. You'd never know he was ever a pop star. No ego. He paid more attention to my 15 year old daughter at the time who went with me. Must have held up the autograph line for 5 minutes while he leaned over and talked to her about music and piano lessons.
He deserves to be opening for The Boys. Plus, I still like his group - I think they're called "The Hermits" or something like that.
I can't tell if people are saying he's not good enough to open, or too good to open....
When I was a teenager I went to several 'oldies' concerts... the best act, everytime was Peter Noone. Puts on a really great show.
Another cool thing about Peter is, you can email him at his website and he answers all his fan mail himself. Really down to earth cool guy.
While I've never met Peter, I agree with both of you, he has indeed no ego & seems very gentle & kind, from what I've seen on YT. Plus, he's a huge BW/BBs fan which says more than anything about him. Musically, he's a good singer & performer, I like his mellow-but-raspy voice. Though generally, Herman's Hermits aren't in the league of my favorite bands.
Wow, it's very rare when celebrities write
every fan mail
themselves. Cool to know that about Peter. Now I have even more respect for him, if it's at all possible.
To sum it up, I'm
for Peter opening Mike & Bruce's show(s). The most ideal choice for them.
