In the early 1970's when I was into Floyd, Zeppelin and blues-based music, John Peel was playing Finbar and Eddie Furey, Trees, the Woods Band, the Albion Country Band (with Steve Ashley, Sue Draheim and Royston Wood in its line-up), and the Cheviot Ranters Country Dance Band. I was hooked! This is testimony to the breadth of John's musical foresight, and he will be sorely missed.
