Thread Name: 2004 Obit: John Peel [UK Radio Presenter]
Subject: RE: Obit: John Peel [UK Radio Presenter]
they are auctioning his record collection off

each record has Peel's notes on the cover, 3 asterisks meant it must be played. He had to extend his house just so he could fit them all in!

up to now, a radio station has offered £1 million.

The New Bands Tent at Glastonbury, is to be renamed the John Peel Stage. I for once, loved Peel at Glastonbury, and looked forward to seeing him presenting it every year almost as much as the event himself. He was stoned one year!!!!

The BBC are going to do a tribute of some sort to him, after discussing it with his family.
