John Peel

5 years ago today . 25th October 2004. RIP. Always remembered and i strongly urge you to read these 2 books if you haven't already done so.

I'm going to be wearing the John Peel Vikings badge to the pub this afternoon.

5 years already it's true what they say, the older you get the quicker time flies :( and yes, I would definitely recommend the books as well. great stuff

Always used to try and make a point of listening to his show,fingers poised over the 'play' and 'rec' buttons,with the old 'C-90' in the tape deck

The books are on my 'to read' list.

Gone but not forgotten Peely

i worked in the shetland isles for a time in the 70,s and peel was the only source of decent music,, , working late shift one night m8 says puddings ready to go chef,, not yet m8,, peel was playing sex pistols pretty vacant for the first time,,, ace.

live transmission.

He cost me a fortune by constantly playing records I just had to go and buy and ruined at least one relationship...'I know its your birthday but I've got to go and see Extreme Noise Terror it's their only London date,' and I would not have had it any other way. Sorely missed mate.
