John Peel - This is Your Life (Part 2 of 3)

Funny how they skimmed over the pirate radio bit don't you think ? That's the BBC, I suppose.

lmao its smashy and nicey rolled into one person

Bransons jumper ha ha ha what a tosser

John Peel saved my youth by introducing me to so much good music.....listening to his show was like listening to a good friend

The music scene will never be the same without John Peel ....RIP

love old john,very much missed

ha ha, god bless branson ! he never misses an oppotunity to plug Virgin! lol and thanks for uploading this 3 parter, its just a small shame of the couple of drop out in the tape, oh well , good job though,

Yeah, bit of a blatant Virgin plug. :-)

But to be fair Branson is right, the whole Virgin empire's starting point was the success of Mike Oldfield, and Oldfield's success was thanks to the support of John Peel.

And that's just one example. The scale of Peel's effect on the world is staggering when you start to think about it... all those legendary bands and singers...

Peel single-handedly did far more for new talent than any number of government schemes or commercial crap like Pop Idol.

I agree with you there, I remember litening to the perfemed garden and the john peel show back in the day, It was such a shock when he died , I feel for sheila and his kids, but what a wonderfull legacy, btw ,I read his part written autobiography and was fasinated by johns time in the states in the 60`s.

Still wearing the same shirt as he did on the Whistle Test
