Little is known about the Penny Peeps, aside from the fact that they recorded two hopelessly obscure, yet highly collectable singles, which today fetch ridiculous sums of money. Collectors may be surprised to learn, however, that the Penny Peeps’ guitarist was none other than future Jethro Tull axe man Martin Barre (b. 17 November 1946, Birmingham), who had joined the band in 1966 when it was known as the Noblemen.
