Links To Peel
Peel travelled to the country in 1992, as part of a BBC Radio One campaign on work opportunities in Europe. He travelled through different European countries by road and visited Elvis Park, an American themed restaurant that was located in an old aeroplane, in Abda, near Győr. The restaurant has since been closed down.

Hungarian musicians were sometimes played on Peel's show and one of them, Márta Sebestyén, did a session for his programme in 1988.
