Peter Hammill is an English musician and recording artist, known for his skills as a singer/songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and producer. Born on Bonfire Night, 5 November 1948 in Ealing, west London, UK, he is best known as the co-founder of the British progressive rock band Van Der Graaf Generator.
With a career spanning several decades, Hammill has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. His unique blend of musical styles and thought-provoking lyrics have earned him a dedicated fan base worldwide.
Influenced by artists such as *Caravan*, *Hatfield & The North*, and *Gentle Giant*, Hammill's music pushes boundaries and challenges traditional conventions. His collaborations with other talented musicians like *Anthony Phillips* and *Phil Manzanera* have resulted in captivating albums that showcase his versatility.

The follow up release to Peter Hammill's 80s solo work 'Enter K', re-issue of 'Patience', recorded with the K Group following his split from the Van der Graaf Generator art rock band. Originally released in 1983, the record reached #15 in the UK Indie album charts. Hammill was known for covering dark motifs with his lyrics, which, along with his 34 solo studio albums and progressive work with the popular Van der Graaf Generator band, this led to him receiving the first ever Visionary Award in the Prog Awards 2012, and to collecting the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016 alongside Van Der Graaf Generator bandmates. Peter Hammill performed with the K group in the early 80s, following Van der Graaf's second split, writing more songbased, punchy new-wave rock. Originally set up as a touring band for Peter Hammill's solo work, Hammill brought material to the studio, where the band gave fresh and energetic backing to Hammill's philosophical lyrics.
