Links to Peel
Peel appears to have played Winer on his show at least as early as 1990 and gave extensive airtime to 'The Witch' in summer 1993.

In 2012, when details of Peel's Record Collection were first released by TheSpace website, 'The Witch' was the first LP in the initial 100 albums of the C section (filed under the artist name C). It was subsequently featured on as a "Hidden Gem" on the John Peel Archive blog.

In autumn 2012, Tom Ravenscroft, Peel's son, played tracks from Winer on his BBC Radio6 Music show.
