23rd October BCfm's John Peel Day
Tony Gosling | 06.10.2010 22:24 | Culture | Education | Indymedia | World
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.
