Answer:
He was one of the band's biographers
Fleetwood Mac are probably unique in being named after somebody that wasn't a member of the band when the name was chosen. Their original axis - Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green and John McVie - first came together in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Green and Fleetwood left to start the new venture but McVie, initially, preferred to stay with the financial security he enjoyed with Mayall.
Brunning's books include "Fleetwood Mac: Behind the Masks" and "Fleetwood Mac: Rumours and Lies". In July 1967, he had responded to an advertisement in the "Melody Maker" magazine. This led to his turning up at Peter Green's apartment for an interview only to ask if he knew about the "other Peter Green" who played with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Green's reply was "You bloody idiot. I am Peter Green!" (Source: "Fleetwood Mac: Rumours and Lies")
Brunning joined Fleetwood Mac on condition that he would make way for John McVie when and if the latter decided to join and, when that did happen at the end of the year, he went on to an equally short stint in Savoy Brown before embarking upon his career in education.
