John Peel Day 2010 - Bristol celebrates John Peel on 93.2 FM

An entire tribute day of John Peel broadcasting
In October 2010 Bristol Community FM will be clearing its schedules for an entire day of broadcasting dedicated to the late great John Peel, and we want the people of Bristol to join in!
John Peel was a new music champion. His now-legendary late night Radio 1 shows and sessions have provided a musical education for generations since the 1970s. He was a pioneering broadcaster that set a benchmark for the industry and who delighted in all that life had to offer, the more quirky and challenging the better. All these qualities will be given a distinctly Bristolian interpretation from 10am to 1am on Monday October 11th - the date of his final broadcast in 2004.

In a 15-hour radio marathon, BCfm presents a cross-section of themed shows and interviews, and of course play the music that he championed over four decades. We want the people of Bristol to get involved by sharing their memories of John Peel and the impact he had on them. If you would like to contribute, please email andrew@bcfm.org.uk or write to me at the address below with your contact details.

BCfm gives the city of Bristol the choice and the voice to get involved and make a difference - so get in touch and help us make this a memorable and unique day of radio!
