Peter Cook - Speaking, Consultancy, Lead Guitar, Vocals

Peter Cook leads Human Dynamics and The Academy of Rock, a creativity and innovation management consultancy. Author of 8 books on business, including 'Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll' and 'The Music of Business', acclaimed by Professor Charles Handy, Harvey Goldsmith and Tom Peters. Peter appears on BBC TV / Radio, Bloomberg TV, The FT, Independent etc. with his ideas. Clients include Johnson and Johnson, Electronic Arts, Pfizer, The Royal College of Physicians, BT, GSK, The CIPD, Roche, Laing O'Rourke, The UN and Imperial College London.

He is an accomplished rock, pop and jazz musician, having performed alongside Bernie Torme, John Otway, Wilco Johnson, The Fall and Lorraine Crosby, who sang on Meatloaf's No 1 hit 'I Would Do Anything For Love'. He helped Bill Nelson, leader of pop art band Be-Bop Deluxe, to sell out an ITV Legend's concert. He famously sponsored an entrepreneurial adventure to go on a record breaking round the world rock adventure with 'Punk Idol and Two Hit Wonder' John Otway. This turned out to be 'The Real Spinal Tap Tour' in a comedy of errors in the 'Carry On' tradition. More recently, Peter wrote and recorded a pithy hard rock song on macro-economics entitled Fiscal Cliff. Check the insanely great video out on FISCAL CLIFF THE MOVIE. Peter knew he wanted to play music at the age of 5 after he got his first Beatles guitar...

  

Peter started out playing in nearly famous Glam Rock band 'Cenet Rox' and punk / pop art bands 'Alternative Posing', 'We Do It In The Dark', 'Oubliette' and others. In the 1980's he formed 'The Blood Junkies', 'The Heads of State' and 'Ignorance is Bliss', being an early adopter of electronic music and tape loops. He returned to hard rock with 'The Sperm Bank Experience' and 'Genital Sparrow' but has constantly broadened his absorption of musical genres, fusing Country and Western and Glam Rock in his Country and Western Glam Rock 3 piece duo 'The Cowpokers' and funk and roll in his most recent ensemble 'Punkadelic'. Here's some pictures of Cenet Rox, The Blood Junkies and The Cowpokers ...

  

Peter's work is sometimes accompanied by a roster of class A rock stars and session musicians, with pedigrees performing with Roger Waters, Mike Oldfield, Ozzy Osbourne, Ian Gillan, The Doctors of Madness, The Damned, Tom Waits, Marianne Faithful, Bill Nelson, Gong, Celine Dion, Prince's NPG, Anastasia and Shirley Bassey.

Check Peter's music out at BANDCAMP and his videos out at VIDEOS. Here he is playing with John Otway at Brands Hatch, meeting Doug Morris - CEO of Sony Records and sharing a glass of champagne (actually a bottle) with Sir Nigel Kennedy ...
