I really do not think he would appreciate all the fuss.

My friend is a v good friend of the family and she still says she is going to John & Sheila's and has to correct herself .

And a lot of bands that are on these tribute things he didn't even play!

Can't believe it's a year.
I too hope there will be a John Peel day every year.

Maggie who?

No, it's a long, grey, flowing beard and droopy moustache - think Merlin or some other wizardy type.

Good old Peely (even if he was a beirdy weirdy.)
Always championed Welsh music-reason alone to love him.
Dh and his group did about three sessions for his radio show and said he was lovely.

codface · 13/10/2005 14:03

were they folk singers who put their fingers in their ears?

moondog · 13/10/2005 14:05

God no!!
Very angry nihilistic thrashy stuff!
(You'd piss yourself if you could see dh now though-model of respectability!)

bundle · 13/10/2005 14:10

jp was kinda soppy in his own way (used to play special records on Dalglishmass as he called Kenny's birthday. sigh)

codface · 13/10/2005 14:12

he was a parent you see thats why

bundle · 13/10/2005 14:13

he was very soppy about his kids, because of his own experiences as a child, he wanted to protect them.

JanH · 13/10/2005 14:14

It hasn't been a year yet though - quite - he died on 25th I think (it was half-term, I remember it well, we were on the wrong bus in Granada and when I saw the headline I actually wailed ) Where did 13th come from??? Have been wanting to ask!

(I saw a bit of the Life of Grime the other day and had to do a big then too.)(Poor old Pig.)
