ragudave Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I am sure John Peel said on his show last night that he has another Scottish date to do for his show before the end of the year. Anyone think he'll play up here ?Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown pleasures Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 seeing him upset lots of people with self-consciously assymetrical haircuts and ironic trousers by playing status quo and lots of nosebleed gabba was one of my triptych highlights!i had to keep my distance though. I once drunkenly swore a sacred oath as saying that, if I speak to him, I'll kiss his baldy head and get him to write "John Peel - King of Rock" somewhere on my person ... then it's off to the nearest tattoo parlour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 he did a wanker sign at me and my mates once. it was a charity football match at the abbey stadium home of my beloved cambridge united between BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio Cambridgeshite, he was playing on the left wing and me and my mates kept chanting 'everton, everton' at him all through the first half. to which he looked at us put on a wry smile and did a wanker sign.i've also got a message on my answer machine left by the great man himself...

Alan Cynic Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 He once played one of my waxings (in 1992).....it was one of the best nights of my life, even though I didn't find out about it til someone sent me a tape of it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some lad selling them from a market stall in Albania, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
