He was the lead singer &#8220;Herman&#8221; in the 1960s pop group Herman\u2019s Hermits.

Check him out on his American tour in November til May 2026! <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Did you always want to be a singer\/musician growing up?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Music was always my hobby. I had a record collection which was the envy of the council estate where I lived with my grandparents who were both deaf and went to bed at 9pm. So I played music incessantly. My dad was a trombone player, his brother played the trumpet and grandad played organ at local church. Grandma was the choirmistress and auntie Mary could play Fats Waller.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: How did you come up with the name Herman\u2019s Hermits?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>A publican told me I didn\u2019t look like Buddy Holly but looked like Sherman from the Bullwinkle show and that my group didn\u2019t looked like Heartbeats but Hermits. That night we changed our names: Pete Novac became Herman (me) and The Heartbeats became Hermits.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: You had many many hits around the world. How do you look at it now? Many songs are still so loved!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>There were lots of good songs around and I grabbed the best ones for me and my genre.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: You appeared with Danny Kaye in \u201cHenry VIII\u201d: What is your fondest memory of Danny?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>He was a great person, loaded up with talent. He invited me back to his home for dinner with his wife Sylvia and his daughter (lovely) Dana.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: &#8220;Oh You Pretty Thing&#8221; was written by David Bowie who played piano on the track. What is your fondest memory of working with David?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>He was a delight to work with. I was a fan. He played me all the hunky dory songs and I asked him to play piano on a session because no one could play it in F-sharp. We did \u201cTop of the Pops\u201d and David showed up in a dress and a bonnet with a flower in it! Oh you pretty things we were indeed!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Among all the artists out there, who would you love to collaborate with and why?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I think Tony from Genesis. He\u2019s a bit of a genius me thinks.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: You can make an album with 7 of your most favorite songs (not your own): what would you pick?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not enough time and it is a stream of consciousness and ever changing. Every recording I like I leave alone\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: What are you currently up to?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am up to 77 and \u00be.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Check out Peter\u2019s website: <a href=\"https:\/\/peternoone.com\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
