A free 12 track CD is being put together to coincide with the "For Peel" art exhibition. Amongst those contributing an exclusive track are; Lol Coxhill, Mick Harvey, The Pheromoans, Mr Solo Vs Drifting Soul, John Hyatt of The 3 Johns, Terry Edwards & The Scapegoats, Cornershop, Viarosa, The Lamy Bros and Nought Music
Movies
Peel said the Ray Charles sequence in The Blues Brothers where they mash potato, do the twist and do the monkey (etc.) never failed to put a smile on his face. Watching the TV doc about The Undertones realtionship with John Peel always makes me cry.
Books
When he guested on Desert Island Discs Peel chose the Dance To The Music of Time books by Anthony Powell. (Good choice).
A free fanzine is being put together to coincide with the "For Peel" art show. The zine will features contributions from Swill of The Men They Couldn't Hang, Ronnie Golden, Pete Wylie, Andrew Collins, The BMX Bandits, The Three Johns, Boz Boorer and many others.
Heroes
Most fans of Liverpool F.C. have a place in their hearts for Kenny Dalglish. Peel claimed that the guitarist from Nought music was the only non football related person he'd ever wanted to be.
