John Peel remembered


The day of dead has just passed (2 Nov.), so if you are feeling like listening to the legendary DJ 
broadcasting from beyond the grave again: Here are loads of John Peel shows waiting for you!
I discovered him in the 80's on British Forces Network on air in Westberlin and got hooked.
I met him personally many years later during Womex in Berlin (2000) and discovered then 
that he was a very nice and down to earth bloke as well.
Listening outside your comfort zone and keeping an open ear for things to come 
was his life long ambition:"I just wanted to hear something I haven't heard before!"
You are surely missed, John!
