John Peel RIP

The Godfather of BBC Radio passed away today with a heart attack. His favourite tune 'Teenage Kicks' by the undertones has been played all day on the airwaves and just shows his incredible influence.

I remember my A-Level exam years listening late into the night to John Peels' gravelled voice introducing each band in turn...he was fantastic and made me feel at ease in such a stressful time. Sad to see him go!

Glastonbury have renamed the tent for new bands after him, a fitting tribute to a true legend.
