Editing Peter Frampton (section)

===Early career===
By the age of 12, Frampton played in a band called the Little Ravens. Both he and [[David Bowie]], who was three years older, were pupils at [[Bromley]] Technical School, where Frampton's father was Bowie's art teacher.<ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Gosling|first1=Emily|title=Teaching David Bowie|url=https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/may-2012/teaching-david-bowie/|access-date=1 January 2017|magazine=Design Week|date=24 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170102081741/https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/may-2012/teaching-david-bowie/|archive-date=2 January 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> The Little Ravens played on the same bill at school as Bowie's band, George and the Dragons.<ref name=60s70s /> Peter and David would spend lunch breaks together, playing Buddy Holly songs.<ref name=60s70s />

At the age of 14, Peter was playing with a band called the Trubeats followed by a band called the Preachers, who later became Moon's Train, produced and managed by [[Bill Wyman]] of [[the Rolling Stones]].<ref name=60s70s /> Frampton's parents were at the time concerned about their son playing regular late night gigs whilst still at school, so Alex Brown, a member of the Preachers, was designated to meet his parents at their house, along with his son Steven, to show that the band members were responsible people. After this meeting, Frampton was allowed to join the band.

Frampton became a successful child singer, and in 1966 he became a member of [[The Herd (UK band)|the Herd]]. He was the lead guitarist and singer, scoring several British pop hits. Frampton was named "The Face of 1968" by [[teen magazine]] ''Rave''.<ref name=60s70s /><ref name=TCE-2001-02-04 /><ref name=TCE-50>{{cite web |url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/02/04/tem_50_years_of_peter.html |title=50 years of Peter Frampton |website=Enquirer.com |date=4 February 2001 |access-date=11 March 2014 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130122085748/http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/02/04/tem_50_years_of_peter.html |archive-date=22 January 2013}}</ref>
