From The Other Side of the Mirror

It’s fair to say, for many people from the UK, the DJ John Peel shaped more than one generations musical thinking.

He introduced me anyway, to a plethora of sounds that it is doubtful I ever would have heard. He was a rite of passage if you will; but an immediately accessible, genial, humble, life-changing experience…the man was a national treasure, even he was a Liverpool FC diehard.

So when I came across this wonderful, touching tribute randomly at the weekend, I wept with joy as I grinned liked the proverbial cheshire cat.
