From Wikipedia -

Peter William Wolfe (born 1968 in Maidstone, Kent) (more commonly known as Wolfman) is a poet and a musician of the band Wolfman and the Side-Effects. He is also a friend of Pete Doherty. From time to time Wolfman and the Side-Effects support Doherty's band, Babyshambles, and used to support The Libertines.

At 18 he moved to London, and for a short while shared a flat with Shane MacGowan.[1] In the early '90s he moved to a flat in the Blackstock Road and worked on his career as a musician. However, Wolfe was "relentlessly unsuccessful."[1] In the late 90s he moved to New York and later to Paris, where he published a book of poetry.

In 2001 Wolfe met Pete Doherty in Islington. They formed a relationship ever since mostly based on songwriting. Wolfe about their relationship: He turned up at my flat and started hanging around saying he was in a band. He's a great fucking person. Sometimes really awful but sometimes very kind. Maybe he was the first person to look at me through eyes which didn't say, "This guy's a cunt."

In 2003 Wolfe recorded "For Lovers" together with Doherty. Wolfe had written the song in the mid 90s and recorded a demo with his old school friend and musical collaborator, Julian Taylor. Doherty altered the words to one verse, and musicians in Wolfe's band, "The Side Effects", along with producer Jake Fior made other changes to the arrangement for the single recording. The single was Wolfe's biggest success as musician, reaching No.7 in the UK charts. Despite the success of the single, which was nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello Award for songwriting, the pair received relatively little money. Rumours that the publishing rights were sold for "a small amount in a pub" are unfounded as in reality the rights were shared amongst the musicians who worked without pay on the recording. This did, however, give Wolfe some media attention and increased his fanbase.

On 12 July 2008, Wolfe joined Pete Doherty on stage during his solo show at the Royal Albert Hall and they performed "For Lovers" together. Wolfe's appearance on stage however did not meet critical acclaim. According to the critics the song was ruined by Wolfe's out-of-tune vocals and lack of charisma; however, if one actually watches the video of the performance they will see that Wolfe is shy but he sings in tune.......[Read Less]
