Pete Williams is a founding member of Dexys Midnight Runners playing on their number one single “Geno” and also being a pivotal force in their resurgence as Dexys.

Born to Black Country parents just inside a new decade, Pete Williams went to school, had a paper round, dreamed and played clarinet.

At age 14 he bought a bass guitar and was soon playing in various bands appearing in social clubs around the industrial West Midlands.

Four years later he was invited by an old school friend to join a “new wave soul group” as yet unnamed, which later became DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS.

Their first release, “Dance Stance”, was issued on Bernie Rhodes Oddball label. Soon after, they were invited to support The Specials on the first 2Tone tour.

After recording “Searching For The Young Soul Rebels” (an album considered by many to be one of the best debut LPs ) and garnering a U.K. No. 1 single with “Geno”, extensive touring and many festival appearances followed.

Pete left Dexys Midnight Runners in Zurich at the end of an exhausting trans-European tour;
