Pete Shelley

Pete Shelley (born Peter Campbell McNeish, 17 April 1955 in Leigh, Lancashire) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known as the singer of the Buzzcocks. Shelley formed the Buzzcocks with Howard Devoto after the two met at Bolton Institute of Technology (now the University of Bolton) in 1975 and subsequently travelled to London to see the Sex Pistols. The Buzzcocks split in 1981 and reformed in 1989. Shelly has made 5 solo albums.

Links To Peel
Peel was a fan of the Buzzcocks and also was interested in Pete Shelly's initial solo career. In 2005, Shelley re-recorded the Buzzcocks"Ever Fallen in Love" with an all-star group, including Roger Daltrey, David Gilmour, Peter Hook, Elton John, Robert Plant and several contemporary bands, as a tribute to John Peel. Proceeds went to Amnesty International, Peel's favourite charity.
