John Peel

I bought John Peel, a tribute to the much-loved DJ and broadcaster by Mick Wall a few years ago second-hand from an Oxfam shop in England (ican't remember where, possibly Peterborough, but who cares anyway?)...had some time over the summer to do some reading...so thought i'd start on Peely...i couldn't put it down...
remarkable man who played remarkable music...
i remember listening to the John Peel show when i was a wee nipper...
the Smiths, The Fall, The Undertones, Joy Division, The Clash...
reminiscing...
I discovered the Glasgow band Bell And Sebastian after reading the book...
John Peel launched PJ Harvey's career. I saw her a few weeks ago at Arras, to be honest I wasn't too impressed. But I bought a second-hand copy of her 'Dry' CD in Paris (her first record)...
what a delightful LP :-)
