No White Peaks was written by Peter Kayne (lyricist and poet) in December 1969. Whilst taking a cabaret act on tour around England, Kayne came to a performance at the Mildenhall USAF base in Suffolk, there he saw first-hand the horrific effects of the Vietnam war on young servicemen. He was so moved by this moment that he later wrote No White Peaks, a poem far removed from his usual style of writing. He has always sought to have the proceeds from this poem donated to charity. In 1991 Peter Cushing OBE recorded a reading of the poem. Cushing was, himself, a beloved and generous man who worked with a loving dedication into his old age. He was a celebrated actor, who was recognized for his extensive work with Hammer Horror Films. His career began in the British theatre but he rose to fame and notoriety in Hollywood only returning to his native England later in life.
