I know he died a while back now (October 26, 2004, to be precise) but I wanted to create a tribute to John Peel. Here’s my little homage of links to him:
1 – The John Peel Sweet Eating Game: Still worth a try. Let me know how you do!
2 – John Peel’s Festive 50s: John broadcasted a listener’s poll of favourite records each year, here’s a list of the results. Spot the difference between 1976 and 1978…
3 – Peel goes “Bleeeeeeeeeeeurgh!”: More wise words from the man himself: “Most of those are actually out in the shed.”
[Links via lots of other places – sorry I haven’t credited people properly, get in touch if this annoys you…]

John Peel
A gentleman genius, who fought for the underdog and played truly inspirational music. The music scene has lost its’ Godfather. Proud to have met him and eternally grateful to have heard his unique radio shows.
Peace and love – Leon Wolfe
