Re: John Peel
Introduced all sorts of different, varied sounds into my place, wherever it happened to be.
Some of it was good, and stayed with me.
Mr Music.

Re: John Peel
I’ve long thought Peel was extremely lucky. Heralded as a champion of the arts, whereas most of the material he played was diabolical. Very much a case of the Emperor’s new Clothes.
Oddly the Ruts, IMHO, who he championed correctly displayed Peel with a school girl on his lap on The sleeve of their debut LP.

I thought it was common knowledge, but clearly not.

Re: John Peel
Peel championed 2 Tone, if he did nothing else that makes him worthy of remembering imho.
Loved listening to his morning show driving over to Harrogate for work, made the journey a pleasure.
Still much missed.
