Early Life
Peters was born in Prestatyn and grew up living in The Crescent Hotel in Edward Henry Street, Rhyl, with the former The Alarm band member Eddie MacDonald. The name of the street became the inspiration for a track on the album of the same name, released as part of "The Poppyfields Bond" of albums. On "Edward Henry Street," Peters describes his life growing up in Wales.
Peters' first job was a computer operator. He worked on an old IBM System 3 mainframe with an operating system of RPG II. It was a data card based system that seen in today's terms was very primitive.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
“I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.”
—Lauren Bacall (b. 1924)
