Peter Ronald Brown, who was born on December 25, 1940, also founded the bands Pete Brown & His Battered Ornaments and Pete Brown & Piblokto! and worked with musicians Graham Bond and Phil Ryan. He also wrote film scripts and founded a film production company.
In the 1960s, he joined the Beat Generation movement, whose followers demonstrated disapproval of consumer society and conservatism with their works and life attitudes. Subsequently, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, members of the then short-lived group Cream, approached him to write some songs for them.
He ended up working with them on all four albums, namely Fresh Cream (1966), Disraeli Gears (1967), Wheels of Fire (1968) and Goodbye (1969). After the group broke up, he became Jack Bruce’s lyricist, working with him on his solo records. He himself published eleven albums as well as several poetry collections.
In recent years, he met the singer Miro Žbirka, who went to London to record, and he also collaborated with him as a lyricist. He participated in the albums Miro (2015) and Double Album (2018).
