Keeping It Peel: John Peel Day 2007

Last year, in 2006, the second John Peel Day saw a very special show as part of their Electric Proms. John Peel Night featured the Raconteurs, Squarepusher and The Horrors perform at the Electric Ballroom, Camden, London.

The much-loved Radio 1 DJ passed away on October 25 2004 last year whilst on holiday in Peru with his wife Sheila, a huge loss to his family, the music industry and those who knew and loved him. He will always be remembered and John Peel Day is testament to that.

How you can be involved!
BBC Radio 1 have encouraged as many people as possible to organise their own gig as a tribute to John. Anything from a couple of unsigned bands down the local pub to hiring an entire venue and booking some Happy Hardcore DJs!

Radio 1 would like to hear about what you have organised.

"John was a launchpad for a thousand careers, including mine. No one in any medium could match his influence as a supporter of new talent … without commercial interest or intent. Someone who attempted to please nobody but himself ended up forging one of the most profound links with his listeners in the history of broadcasting. He was an ordinary bloke with an extraordinary love for music. I and many others will never forget him."
