Pete Atkin, born on August 22, 1945 is a British singer-songwriter and radio producer from Cambridge, England. He began playing violin at Romsey County Primary School and later taught himself piano and guitar. In 1967, Atkin made his first recording with While the Music Lasts, featuring vocals by himself and Julie Covington. His collaboration with Clive James produced notable songs such as "Master of the Revels" and "The Flowers and the Wine". Atkin released his debut album, Beware Of The Beautiful Stranger in 1970, followed by several albums throughout the 1970s including Driving Through Mythical America (1971), A King at Nightfall (1973), The Road of Silk (1974), and Secret Drinker (1974). Despite limited commercial success, his work with James resulted in a successful tour accompanying the release of Live Libel in 1975. After RCA, Atkin transitioned to radio production, notably working on BBC Radio 4's series This Sceptred Isle.
