John Peel R.I.P. This man was a musical lifeline to me, as I suspect he was to countless others too. In a pre-internet world where discovering new music that wasn't 'fed to the masses' by the record companies and the mainstream media working hand in hand was very much a labour of love - this man was the maverick who played music outside of that collaborative corporate 'lock-down'.
Were it not for him the musical landscape would have been dramatically less rich and some of the finest hours of my youth were spent in bed with a radio and earpiece long after I was supposed to have been asleep. Sadly gone for over a decade but never forgotten.
