Back in Nov 2015, some of our crew were lucky enough to be able to browse the mind-blowing John Peel Archive (Mr Thing Tall Black Guy kidkanevil Aly | DJ Gilla & a virtual Eric Lau) resulting in a special 7' release for RSD.

Little video talking about 2 gigs close to my heart this week - Redchurch Brewery in my old 80s stamping ground of Harlow on Wednesday (literally a piss up in a brewery, I'm organising it) and John Peel Centre on Thursday. Peelie's plays started me off!

Our first listening party album tonight was from waaaay back in 2,000 and our second is from even longer ago, in 1972...Getting ready for Swaddling Songs by Mellow Candle

Unpacking continues. I found the letter John Peel sent me after I sent him my first fanzine, inviting me onto his BBC local radio show in East Anglia. I was 16, maybe 17. There was no better day than this. [1/2]

I really, really have to thank the great DJ John Peel. He played this and really championed us. Even gave us a session. Great man..great taste. Maximum respect….

If you've got Sky Arts on your telly don't miss this tomorrow night...

King Rocker is on THIS SATURDAY at 9pm on SKY ARTS and you can watch for free. We've been inundated with questions about how to watch this and the answer is something like this: It will be available on Sky, on the Sky Arts website, on NOW TV and Freeview Channel 11 (see below).

Flowers did two of the finest Peel sessions I’ve heard & are perfect for a retrospective with the Pop:Aural singles & Earcom tracks.

It's fifteen years since #JohnPeel passed away. I can't claim to have listened to every one of his shows, or to have enjoyed all the music that he shared, but his genuine love and enthusiasm for music has been a huge influence in my life. Love and peace John.

John Peel
August 30th 1939 – October 25th 2004.
A legendary broadcaster who introduced so much new music to so many people. Remembering him today

'If Elvis were alive today, I think he'd really understand happy hardcore.'

15 years since John Peel's passing. Much missed...
