Peel Remembered
(Message to Forum:Peel Artists) Hello - I'm Neil Thompson - Peely played the band I was in - The Carpettes - a few times and we also recorded two sessions for him in 1978. He also sent a Christmas card in 1978 which I still have. I met the great man in 1986 - I was on the door at Fulham Kings Head for the Bhundu Boys. I'd been told he was on the guest list. When he came in he told me about the guest list but I asked his name - he replied John Peel and didn't think twice about it - none of this 'Don't you know who I am' business. I had a chat with him later and he remembered the Carpettes.
