{{BLP sources|date=June 2016}}Pete Chester (born 9 September 1941) is an English drummer and songwriter. He is the son of Charlie Chester, comedian and broadcaster.[1]

Chester started his career by forming the band The Five Chesternuts with Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch in 1957,[1] which released the unsuccessful single "Teenage Love" on the Columbia label and appeared on the Six-Five Special on BBC television.[3] Marvin and Welch left in 1958 to join Cliff Richard and The Drifters, which later became Cliff Richard and The Shadows.[1]

Chester had a UK Hit Record in 1960 - "Ten Swingin' Bottles" which reached the Top 30 in that year - Ref NME.

In 1959, Welch visited Chester and asked him if he had any songs as everybody was song writing at the time. They went through his list of songs and found "Please Don't Tease", which Chester had just written, and they worked on it together.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} Welch eventually sang it to Cliff Richard who recorded it. It went to number one for three weeks in 1960.[2]

Chester's song "Left Out Again", and ""Tell Me" written with Bruce Welch, appeared on Cliff Richard's album Me and My Shadows released later in 1960.[3] The first single released under The Shadows' name was "Saturday Dance" written by Chester and Hank Marvin.[4]
