Peter Blair Denis Bernard Nooneย 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. Bedeโ€™s College and the Manchester School of Music and Drama. As a child, he played โ€œStanley Faircloughโ€ in the long-running British soap operaย Coronation Street. He was also featured in the television seriesย Knight Errant,ย Family Solicitorย andย Monroโ€™s Saki Stories.

At the age of fifteen, Peter achieved international fame as โ€œHermanโ€™s Hermitsโ€, lead singer of the legendary Sixties pop band Hermanโ€™s Hermits. His classic hits included:ย โ€œIโ€™m Into Something Goodโ€ โ€œMrs. Brown, youโ€™ve Got A Lovely Daughterโ€, โ€œIโ€™m Henry VIII, I Amโ€, โ€œSilhouettesโ€, โ€œCanโ€™t You Hear My Heartbeatโ€, โ€œJust A Little Bit Betterโ€, โ€œWonderful Worldโ€, โ€œThereโ€™s A Kind of Hushโ€, โ€œA Must To Avoidโ€, โ€œListen Peopleโ€, โ€œThe End of the Worldโ€ and โ€œDandyโ€.ย Ultimately, Hermanโ€™s Hermits sold over sixty million recordings. In all, fourteen singles and seven albums went gold. The Hermits were twice named Cashboxโ€™s โ€œEntertainer of the Yearโ€.

As โ€œHermanโ€, 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 ABCโ€™s musical version ofย The Canterville Ghost, Hallmark Hall of Fameโ€™s presentation of the classic Pinocchio (in which he played the title role) and three highly successful feature films for M-G-M:ย Mrs. Brown, Youโ€™ve Got A Lovely Daughter,ย Hold On!ย andย When The Boys Meet The Girls.

Throughout the seventies, Noone performed, composed songs and produced recordings with such artists as David Bowie, Debby Boone and Graham Gouldman. His album with the Tremblers,ย โ€œTwice Nightlyโ€ย and his solo effortย โ€œOne of The Glory Boysโ€ย were both critically and commercially successful. With characteristic zeal, Peter took on leading roles in full-scale theatrical productions ofย Dick Wittington,ย Aladdin, andย 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 Festivalโ€™s production ofย The Pirates of Penzance. He won rave reviews for his superb portrayal of the dashing, young hero, โ€œFredericโ€. 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 โ€œFredericโ€ with both the U.S. National Touring Company and the International Touring Company of โ€œPiratesโ€.

Peterโ€™s acting career flourished with guest-starring roles in prime-time television shows such as:ย Married With Children,ย My Two Dads,ย Quantum Leap,ย Daveโ€™s World,ย Easy Street,ย Too Close For Comfortย andย Laverne and Shirley. He also starred in the Los Angeles stage premiere ofย Topokana Martyrโ€™s Dayย and the U.S. National Tour of the smash Broadway hitย Romance, Romance.

For four years, Noone served as the winsome host of VH1โ€™sย My Generation, the highest-ever-rated half hour retrospective of popular music. He also hosted the informative PBS Specialย The British Invasion Returnsย and recorded the title song for the Kirk Douglas filmย Diamonds. He created two unique websites (peternoone.com and hermanshermits.com) that have become so popular, the New York Daily News dubbed him the โ€œKing of The Sixties on the Internet.โ€

Accompanied by his band, Hermanโ€™s Hermits, Noone consistently plays to sold-out venues the world over. He has a legion of faithful fans (known as โ€œNoonaticsโ€) whose loyalty is unparalleled. Todayโ€™s teen girls scream just as passionately as their mothers did back in 1965, prompting VH1 to select Peter as their viewerโ€™s choice for the โ€œSexiest Artist of the Yearโ€. Most recently, Noone starred in the recurring role of โ€œPaddingtonโ€ on the CBS daytime drama,ย As The World Turns. His colorful performances instantly made him a favorite of the soap opera magazines and online message boards.
