Peter Allen was born on Feb 10, 1942 in a little town in the hills of NSW. He learnt piano from an early age and was playing at the local pub by the time he was ten.
Peter left school in his mid-teens and decided to further his career in Sydney. It was there that he met CHRIS BELL and they joined forces as the Alien Brothers (see the section on the ALLEN BROTHERS). After releasing several records and becoming TV regulars, they set out for the Orient where they met Judy Garland.
Judy enticed the duo to the US where Peter met her daughter, Liza Minelli. The couple subsequently became engaged late in 1964. They were married in 1967. However, the relationship became strained as Liza became a star and Peter's career seemed to stagnate.
Finally, in 1970, the couple broke up and so too did the Alien Brothers. From this point, Peter began to nurture his talent for song-writing. He moved to Greenwich Village where he gradually developed a cult for his bizarre stage antics in the small clubs in the area.
As his popularity in cabaret began to increase, Peter directed his songwriting talents to expatriate Australians, Olivia Newton-John and Helen Reddy.
It was for Olivia that he wrote the dual Grammy Award winning song, 'I Honestly Love You' in 1974. He returned to Australia in September 1975 as the opening act for Helen's show in Sydney.
Meanwhile, in the US, Peter was beginning to attract bigger audiences and had moved into bigger clubs. In 1976, Dee Anthony (Peter Frampton's manager), took over his affairs and things began to happen. Peter teamed up with composer, CAROL BAYER SAGER. He also recorded 'I GJ To Rio'.
Although the single eventually topped the Australian charts, it was not until that amazing film clip of the song was shown on the pop show Countdown, that it received any airplay. By the time Peter arrived back in Australia in September 1977, the record had made number one and he was met with a tumultuous reception right throughout his tour.
'Rio' was followed hotly by his best selling album, Taught By Experts, and another single, 'The More I See You'. The next release by Peter was a double live album recorded at clubs in both Los Angeles and New York, entitled It Is Time For Peter Alien, which hit the shops in October 1977.

The only Australian to win an Oscar, a Grammy and a Golden Globe, Allen wrote some of our most iconic songs before dying in 1992 at 48-years-of-age. Born in Tenterfield, his song ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ continues to be a classic song that thrust Tenterfield into the limelight after its release.

The Tenterfield Saddlery was made famous by Peter Allen's tribute to his past, and grandfather George Woolnough in the 'Tenterfield Saddler'.

However it is much more than just a song. For 50 years (from 1908 - 1960), this quaint blue-granite saddlery on High Street was a key meeting place in town. Saddler George Woolnough plied his trade, listening, undisturbed by the chatter and opinions of those who wandered in. One famous customer was Banjo Patterson.

Since 1860, the building has been used as a bank, private residence, and saddlery.
