Pete Elderkin is originally from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in England. His book 'Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure' details his upbringing in Peterborough and his experiences as part of a band, The Pleasureheads, and promoting indie, alternative club nights and as a DJ. He followed his dream to finally reach that holy grail for rock groups, a BBC Radio One John Peel session. He moved to Auckland, New Zealand in 2002, where he lives with his wife Jane and their two boys Nate and Alfred.
