There he became involved in several bands. having most success with The Metros, before taking up his long term role in Marillion. He have been in Marillion 21 years, here what he says about it: "Can you believe it, I've been in the band 21 years. This got me thinking about my time in the band, and   all the good and bad things that have gone along with it...We have had some incredibly positive moments this    whole time we've been together. I'll never forget all being crowded around a car stereo at the back of the old Marquee listening to Garden Party on Radio 1 for the first time. Then the success of Script and it's subsequent tour." Pete has had a long history of very short-lived bands from his early years, including such gems as Orthi, The Robins, Tamberlane, Heartbeat, East Goes West, and the most successful of the lot, The Metros. The Metros' claim to fame was opening up for Duran Duran in New York in 1982. During June and July 1999, Pete traveled to New York to meet up with Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy,  Spock's Beard singer Neal Morse, and Flower Kings guitarist Roine Stolt to take part in a "progressive rock supergroup" project. The 2000 album SMPTe by Transatlantic was followed up with a double live CD, Live in America. In 2000, Ian Mosley teamed up with Ben Castle to record Postmankind with Pete on Bass... not the first time Ian and Pete worked together outside Marillion! In 1996, with guitarist Sylvain Gouvernaire as the band Iris, they released the instrumental album Crossin the Desert. In addition, Pete added his playing to bandmate Steve Rothery's Wishing Tree Carnival of Souls album. (Information was taken on official Marillion website)
