Peter grew up in a very tough area of London (at that time )Bethnal Green and being Jewish probably experienced a degree of anti semitism not to mention rival teenage gangs etc I would assume that he "knew how to look after himself "
Now I hav'nt read Clemens book (yet!- shame on me! )and the following story may indeed be in there, but FM did a free (?)gig at Parliament hill Fields in London ,and a fight broke out involving skinheads who ,I believe ,were trying to disrupt the event .A friend if mine who was there .told me that in mid performance .Peter jumped off the stage and waded into the affray . |Dont know if it's true but there you are that is what he told me !
