Peter Allen was born Peter Richard Woolnough in Tenterfield, New
South Wales, Australia. He was the grandson of George Woolnough,
whom Allen immortalized in his song "Tenterfield Saddler". Allen
began his performing career with Chris Bell as one of the "Allen
Brothers", who were a popular cabaret and television act in the
early 1960's in Australia. Mark Herron, the husband of Judy
Garland, discovered Allen while he was performing in Hong Kong. He
was invited to return with them to London and the United States,
where he performed with Garland. Allen grew up in the small
Australian country town, Tenterfield. His grandfather, George
Woolnough, worked as a saddler in the town. His father Dick became
a violent alcoholic upon returning from World War II. He shot and
killed himself when Peter was still young. George never understood,
nor got over this devastating event. This tale is told in the song,
Tenterfield Sadder On 26th November, 2005, an extension of the
Tenterfield library was opened and named the "George Woonough
Wing". Peter Allen's career has been important in helping the
tourist industry in Tenterfield where visitors can still see the
Tenterfield Saddler shop with an interesting collection of
memorabilia about Peter Allen. FTF honours go to TEAM ROBINS for
their find. Congratulations!
