Is It Really Ten Years?

[Richard A Thackeray]

Since John Peel died!?!
it was 25th October 2004, in Peru

Just been reading a page on the BBC website

His 'Record Box' was a great project, sadly I've not opened it up for a while

All the 'Festive 50's, & sessions are listed here;

Thankfully, his son has a show on the radio, to continue his fathers work; http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00slvl3


Mark Radcliffe has a nice tribute to him, in his book "Thankyou For The Days", as he worked with him at a couple of Glastonburys

(that said, Radcliffe is to blame for Chris Evans still being on radio, & Madonnas first session on UK radio)

Just had a look

John; 25th Oct
Fred; 6th November


Fred funeral procession brought Bolton to a standstill, as did Johns, at Bury St Edmunds
(Fred procession even had the Fire Station out, with all the tenders stood out on 'blues', with the Watch standing to attention)
