The Pretenders
Pete Farndon joined Bushwackers, an Australian country music band, while they were in London and followed them back to Australia for a year then joined up with the first line up of the Pretenders with Chrissie Hynde and Tom Edwards on drums (another Hereford Cathedral School friend). Pete was then instrumental in persuading James Honeyman-Scott and Martin Chambers to join the Pretenders. Pete attained considerable success with The Pretenders before his tragically premature death in April 1983.
