   Peter Cook's Blurbs
About me:
I have managed to combine a serious career as a creative business consultant with rock music and wig / skirt wearing - that's pretty average really isn't it? My transition into self employment was more inspired by George Michael's line 'Enjoy What You Do' from Wham Rap than my MBA and other formal learning. Personality type ENTP - that's a rare breed!!

Author of three books on creativity etc. The latest one: SEX, LEADERSHIP AND ROCK'N'ROLL is acclaimed by top business guru TOM PETERS, the business equivalent of Madonna or Prince, who said of it "Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll is a marvellous book, which closes the door on the tidy, hierarchical, know-your-place 'Orchestral Age' and ushers in a new, creative era of challenge and change. Hooray!". Phil Beadle, Punk Rock Teacher and Guardian Columnist thought: "This book rocks harder than early period Sabbath. I gulped it down quicker than Ozzy Osbourne used to down a bottle of bourbon."

Copies available at AMAZON Also available in POLISH

The book has a cameo section on the great Bill Nelson and his approach to personal reinvention. Bill is an all round genius and my most admired artist. Add him from my Top Friends if you wish.

Also the author of a much more academic tome 'Best Practice Creativity' - see AMAZON - Now in Russian after 8 years in print! Recently on TV on an educational lite chat show - Kinda like 'Parkinson for Teachers' - Take a peek at TEACHER'S TV

Run my own business: ACADEMY OF ROCK for radical creativity with rock music and HUMAN DYNAMICS for creative business consultancy.

Play instruments in spare time and organise jam sessions around Kent. Most recent gigs were with Wilko Johnson's band featuring Norman Watt Roy - the engine room of Ian Dury and the Blockheads and Splodgenessabounds with my Glam Punk outfit GLUNK - on the 30th anniversary of 'two pints of lager and a packet of crisps please'

My all time love of guitar is the enigmatic Bill Nelson. Admired as much for his approach and attitude to the instrument than 'technique'. No one does it better! I've also played a few times with veteran cult punk rocker John Otway and he wrote the foreword to 'Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll' - As a result I poured my life savings into his World Tour and tried to help him execute this audacious strategy. This was a once in a lifetime experience which broke my heart and bank balance and a great deal was learned in doing it. During the course of this, I also met Rainbow George, fringe pacifist politician and next door neighbour of Peter Cook of 'Not Only But Also' fame. He had some interesting tales to tell! Two lovely but precocious boys and all the usual joys / nightmares that this brings!

There is some of my own music on ALTE RNATIVE POSING - recorded at various points over the years.

Who I'd like to meet:


People from all over the world - variety is the food of diversity - play on!

People who share a sense of fun, music and anyone who is as stupid / brave as I am to combine their passion with their job.

Jimi Hendrix and Django Reinhardt would be nice (but time travel still not possible).

Aristotle and Plato would also be good - glad that My Space has reincarnated some of my heroes!!

Hey I hope things are well with you. I was wanting to know if you wouldn't mind posting my widget on your MySpace page, or on your Facebook page so you can help me win a record contract with MySpace Records. The more people that do so the better my chances of winning. I've been lucky enough to have a lot of people ask me how is it that I don't have a record contract with my music being so good?, so now is your chance to help me make it a reality. Just grab the widget below, and post it on your profile page. It's that simple. Thanks so much for helping me spread the word with all your friends and family, and I hope to see you down the road!!

You are never given a wish without also
being given the power to make it come true!


Thanks for adding me as a friend.
Embrace the beauty that is you.






The earth turns on its orbit for you.

The oceans ebb and flow for you.

The birds sing for you.
The sun rises and it sets for you.

The stars come out for you.

Every beautiful thing you see,
every wondrous thing you experience,
is all there for you.

Take a look around.
None of it can exist, without you.

No matter who you thought you were,
now you know the Truth
of Who You Really Are.

You are the master of the Universe.

You are the heir to the kingdom.

You are the perfection of Life.

May the joy be with you.
