From The Research Vault: ‘We took a lot of flak at the outset’: Peter Tork talks to Vibe about The Monkees returning to London, Jim Palmer, News Shopper, 15th July 2015

Hey hey he’s a Monkee and nearly 50 years after his band first graced TV screens and the charts, Peter Tork is still monkeying around.

The 73-year-old pop star was full of humour when he chatted to Vibe about returning to London for a gig with bandmate Micky Dolenz on September 4.

Asked how excited he was about coming back to the captial, Peter opted for a numerical answer.

“About a nine…on a scale of 35,” he joked.

“I’m very pleased to be coming. I always enjoy the UK. Of course, I’m delighted, thrilled – totally chuffed as the Brits say.”
