Peter noone and micky dolenz biography

“Don’t get me drunk, pissed off, and armed,” Micky Dolenz says, barely five minutes into his conversation with Peter Noone. And we know we’re in for one hell of an evening.
“Peter Noone in Conversation with Micky Dolenz” isn’t what most people expect when two musical legends of the ’60s appear together onstage. It’s not a concert; it’s more like an episode of Inside the Actors’ Studio or — maybe more fittingly given Peter Noone’s dashing three-piece suit — The David Frost Show.
