I think i've got a copy somewhere,if i can find it i'll let you know,you can't keep it but i'll let you borrow it.

I met John at my first Glastonbury.I had listened to his show on the wednesday and he'd said he hated it when people shouted at him but did'nt come over and say hello.So when my mate and i saw him on the thursday evening,it was too good an opportunity to miss.We staggered over and intrduced ourselves and had a chat about what bands we were going to see,he insisted we see Lonnie Donegan.Lucky we did because he passed away about a year later.Top bloke,we even made him late for his radio show because he seemed genuinely interested in our opinions about certain bands.Sadly missed [/quote]

Ooh, that really would be appreciated, I kept going into the Virgin megastore when i was there as it was only place that ever had NME but for whatever reason that issue never made it onto the newstand, when I got home it was off the shelves as well. I'd make sur eit gets returned.

John Peel had more influence than any band, the BBC tribute night really brought that home, must get it copied onto DVD when i can work out how to get it transferred from a Sky + box
