Peter Goalby (born 13 July 1950) is an English rock singer. Best known as the lead vocalist for Uriah Heep between 1982 and 1986, recording three albums with the band. He also wrote Blood Red Roses, recorded by the band for their 1989 album Raging Silence and released as the second single from the album.

Still with Trapeze, he recorded the album, originally titled Running, for the small German label Shark Records in 1978.

Some time in here Goalby also recorded songs for a project called 'Destiny'. This included members of Nightwing, as well as Tommy Aldridge and Pat Thrall, and Terry Uttley (Smokie). The 9 songs recorded here have never been released (officially or bootlegged), but a few would be recorded later by Nightwing, Trapeze and Uriah Heep. The...
