Pete Drummond

Peter Drummond-Hay (born 29 July 1943), known professionally as Pete Drummond, is a British voice artist and former BBC and pirate radio disc jockey and announcer.

As a child he lived in Australia and France, before attending Millfield School alongside later BBC Radio 1 colleague Tony Blackburn.

[1] He joined Radio 1 from its start in September 1967, and, as someone who was seen as both avant garde and reliable, was used as one of the early presenters of Top Gear, along with John Peel who later took over the programme.

In 1977 the BBC chose him to present a series of 11 radio programmes, scripted by Pete Frame and John Tobler, called Summer of '67 which concentrated on the music and sounds that had made an impact ten years earlier.

On 29 April 2011 Drummond did the voice commentary for the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on the live broadcast made by the Discovery Channel.
