Shaki Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 My friend has asked me what Scottish bands were discovered or helped in their careers by John Peel. It is for a photo project that she is doing. I have no idea. Can anyone offer any assistance with this query? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkt Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Ballboy although they didnt exactly make it so I'm not sure that countsI imagine all the Postcard stuff and The Pastels got some airplay in the 80s thanks to Peel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 He championed Arab Strap quite a bit, too. I'm sure it was Peel that introduced me to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 He was a big Camera Obscura fan. They even played a few songs at his house on Burns Night in 2004 if memory serves me right and set some Burns poetry to their own music. Lovely stuff.
