Peter James Williams (born 3 April, 1942) is a New Zealand Singer-Songwriter. He was one of the original Meteors with Max Merrit and travelled to Australia in 1964. He was a founding member of The Groove and had an Australian national hit with 'Soothe Me'. The band won the Hoadleys Battle of the Bands in 1968, and embarked on a European tour. Williams then joined The Mixtures in England in 1971, and remained with the band until their break-up in 1979. The Mixtures had several hits including In the Summertime, The Pushbike Song, Henry Ford, and Captain Zero. Captain Zero was penned by Williams.
