Peter Daltrey - Dream On 1995

Peter James Daltrey (born 25 March 1946 in Bow, East London, England) is an English musician. He has been lead singer and chief songwriter for the bands Kaleidoscope and Fairfield Parlour. He is also a solo artist.After the demise of the bands, Daltrey concentrated on his artwork, which he sells through his "Demographic Online" company, and his solo recording projects. His first album, Dream On , was released on the British Voiceprint label in 1995, followed by two albums released in Japan: English Roses (1995) and When We Were Indians (1996).

In 1997, Daltrey worked with Universal Records on the compilation album, Dive into Yesterday , a collection of tracks from Kaleidoscope's two 1960s albums. The band re-emerged from obscurity with reissues of their albums, beginning in 1987; their "lost" double concept album, White Faced Lady was released in 1991.

In 1997 Daltrey was invited by the Dutch composer and instrumentalist Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon) to work with him on his double concept album, Into the Electric Castle. Daltrey wrote and read the narration for the entire album. He also contributed two titles on the album (Transmission TM-014 International 1998). In 2005, he sang on the re-release of Ayreon's first album, The Final Experiment, providing lead vocals for an acoustic version of "Nature's Dance".

A fan of Clifford T. Ward, Daltrey was guest of honour at an October 1998 convention where he delivered a speech of appreciation. Candy:The Best of Peter Daltrey. Blueprint Records released a collection of Daltrey's best solo work in 1999 on Candy: The Best of Peter Daltrey. The turn of the century saw the release of Daltrey's album, Tambourine Days with the title track looking back at his earlier career, and the many friends who had shared that long frustrating road.

In 2000, Daltrey began a collaboration with the New Orleans-based singer-songwriter, Damien Youth. Their first album, Nevergreen was released that year. This was followed by two more solo albums, Heroine in 2001 and The Last Detail in September 2002. The collaboration with Youth continued in November 2002 with the release of their second album, Tattoo. Two months later Daltrey's first solo single was released on Earworm Records, "(Love Song) For Annie" / "Gypsy Gypsy" (with Damien Youth) (Earworm Records).

In April 2003, after the discovery of some rare Kaleidoscope acetate discs the band authorised their release, Kaleidoscope - The Sidekicks Sessions (CD Alchemy). In September BBC recordings were released, Please Listen to the Pictures, its cover art featuring many photographs and clippings from Daltrey's extensive band archive. The following month he released Pittsburg Warhola under the nom de plume Link Bekka. He and Youth then formed The Morning Set band, and released their first album, The Morning Set, at the end of 2006.

In 2007, Link Bekka, released two more albums: The Madness of King Bekka and Saharaville. In 2009, Link Bekka collaborated with the saxophonist, Derek G Head for the album, Jacks Town an appreciation of the work of Jack Kerouac.

Daltrey continues to record and creates his artwork which he sells through his companies, ArtBeat and Demographic Online. Upcoming projects include contributions to a pictorial book on the Isle of Wight Festival 1970, together with a TV documentary of the event, and an album with Philly psych band The Asteroid #4. His son, Oli, was involved in The Fog Band from 2000-2006.
