An Interview with Peter Noone
1 How did Herman's Hermits get together?
We were in all different bands and were brought together by our common
musical influences
Keith hopwood brought hsi country and finger picking style. Lek had chuck
berry. Barry had lek. Karl green had me
We all liked the same kind of music in varying degrees and when we met micky
most it all gelled
2 You have acted many times before what do you enjoy the most acting or
singing/music concerts?
I enjoy acting at concerts. Many people don't know that it is all the same
thing I am not really henry the 8th. That's acting.
3 What was the first thing you noticed that you and the band were becoming
popular in the Sixties?
I noticed everyone grew about 3 inches and the acne cleared up and girls
thought we were more ineresting.
4 Have you three favorite Hermits songs?
There's a kind of hush
Im into something good
Henry the 8th
5 You continue to tour sussesfuly in the US and have done tours in recent
years in the UK with The dakotas, are there any plans to tour the UK

rewarding so I have to d them for pure fun or to meet wayne fontana for tea
6 Do you have any plans to record new songs again in the future for
release in someway?
No I have recorded all my best stuff
7 On music lists it has been asked could you and others from the original
line up reform one day to tour?
Which ones?
Barry has a band that tours butlins and pontins and lower paying
establishments which he has called herman's hermits, which has sort of
killed any chance of a herman's hemrits tour anywhere other that the usa
financially a disaster, so I doubt it
Go see him then come see my version
8 Do you have still have any ambitions that you hope to reach one day?
I still want to be more rich than I am
9 You appeared on a special called "The British Invasion Returns" could
another concert like this happen again for release on DVD?
I didn't think much of that dvd and I don't think it was flattering to most
of the acts. So I will try to avoid another one.
