Merina | 2004 Obit: John Peel [UK Radio Presenter] (118* d) | RE: Obit: John Peel [UK Radio Presenter] | 26 Oct 04 |
Sad, sad, sad. He turned me on to more great music I'd never have otherwise heard than any broadcaster I can think of. Apart from maybe Andy Kershaw in more recent years (and Andy did a heartfelt tribute to him on News 24 this evening) he often played more decent folk music on the radio than was (is) usually found on the folk programmes of the time. Just about the only thing left now with that spirit of wayward eclecticism - of quite a different kind - is Late Junction. Sad, sad, sad. :-( |
