Pete Williams & His Band

An afternoon Christmas show by Pete Williams & His Band, with special guests, at the Hare & Hounds in Birmingham. Pete Williams was one of the founders of Dexys Midnight Runners.

Pete Williams was one of the founders of Dexys Midnight Runners and played on their number one UK single "Geno". After the band's early releases, including the album Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, Pete left Dexys in Zurich at the end of a European tour and returned to England. There, Pete formed The Bureau, whose singles "Only for Sheep" and "Let Him Have It" reached the top ten in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The group disbanded in 1983, and its self-titled album did not come out until 2005.

Pete later rejoined Dexys in 2003 as co-vocalist alongside Kevin Rowland for the tour To Stop the Burning, and went on to record the album One Day I'm Going to Soar with Kevin Rowland and Mick Talbot. In the years between, Pete also wrote and performed with a band called These Tender Virtues.

This event is an afternoon Christmas shindig featuring Pete Williams & His Band, with special guests added to the bill. It takes place at Hare & Hounds, a concert and performance venue in Birmingham.
