Andy Peebles

Andy Peebles is a British radio broadcaster who was a colleague of John Peel at Radio One from 1978 to 1992.

Top Of The Pops
Andy Peebles appeared as a co-host with Peel in sporadic, multi-DJ episodes of Top of the Pops during the 1980s. They never appeared as joint hosts, which was not surprising given Peel's thinly-veiled dislike for his colleague.

Relationship with John Peel
Peel clearly didn't like his radio one colleague.


 * Peel (introducing Glasgow girl-group Strawberry Switchblade with): Andy Peebles would doubtless describe them as 'Those Bonnie Wee Lassies from North of the Border.'


 * Peel : You probably wonder why I say "if I may say so". One of my colleagues at Radio One says it all the time in a context I can't fully understand. I find myself screaming at the radio "why SHOULDN'T you say so!!.


 * Peel (introducing a session track entitled 'He's An Angry Bastard But I Like Him' by Norwich band Serious Drinking, having preceeded it with an inane Radio One jingle featuring the voice of Peebles) : That's Andy Peebles. He's an angry bastard but I like him.
