John Peel R.I.P
Tragic, Tragic news. A fellow muso, champion of new music and an insperation to anyone with an interest in music, John Peel will be sorely missed in these parts.
I won't pretend that I used to listen to his show every day but just hearing 10 minutes of the show every so often was more rewarding than listen to hours of other radio shows.
It is a great irony that I discovered at the weekend that his shows were available online to play at anytime on the BBC web site (a truely great inovation that the BBC sholud be praised for).
THe BBC have opened an online forum for tributes, many of which are very touching:

It really shows how much he was appreciated by people who love music.
