John Peel Day

11 October marks the third anniversary of John Peel's final broadcast. On the 25 October 2004 John died in Peru. His legacy lives on in the third 'John Peel Day'. With any luck hundreds of gigs will be performed around the country in his memory. Music, especially new and exciting music, was the second biggest thing in John's life (after his family) and therefore having a day set aside for the enjoyment of music is a fine tribute.

Rest in Peace John. By the way the last Fall LP was really quite good.
