Peter Hawkins

Peter Hawkins attended the once prestigious Southend College of Art and Design where he studied alongside David Burke.

Hawkins invited Burke to see his band The Acme Cheese Company one evening which prompted Burke to form Meatfist with Hawkins.

Hawkins reintroduced Burke to his old school friend: Lee Watkins.

At the time however, Hawkins had lost both of his parents and was experiencing some trauma from the event.

Along with Hawkins' impending fatherhood Burke and Watkins considered him a liability and sacked him from the band to hire Simon Johnson instead. Hawkins is now retired.
