Glen Peters is an Anglo Indian who was born in Calcutta in 1950. His family moved to England in 1967 just as Enoch Powell was igniting racial hatred with his infamous rivers of blood speech. The 17 year old Peters was fortunate enough to make friends with a pal who told him “Don’t worry, we’re not all like Enoch” and introduced him to the cosy world of folk clubs, a world Peters has inhabited since then, initially as a performer and then running various clubs himself while also establishing a successful career as an advocate for and pioneer in eco friendly green energy.
'Where Do You Come From?' is his story and features Glen with George Whitfield and Rhian Medi Jones. This a local show before Glen takes it to the Edinburgh Fringe.
The album 'Where Do You Come From?' was released in late 2025. "What a total privilege it was to work with Glen on this album. It's his story; he has the ability to tell it with both tenderness and playfulness, but then gravitas and joyful optimism. His melodies are instantly memorable, each song an earworm, both musically and thematically. I hope you love it as much as I did producing it. Every life is full of songs as Glen demonstrates so deftly here." - Boo Hewerdine
