Forum:Artist page suggestion

(Message to Peel Mailing List, 17 March 2009)

Dear Peelites,

Just a thought to share regarding an additional feature in the wiki (which is evolving into a fantastic resource by the way).

I suggest that when considering entries for the artists, particularly those that recorded sessions, we make a collective effort to obtain memories, anecdotes and information about their recording and listening experience regarding Peel's show.

We could utilise our own contacts, band websites, messageboards, Facebook etc to track down and ask if those artists/band members included in show listings would like to share:
 * memories of recording the sessions
 * useful extra information such as tracks nearly recorded and then pulled at the last minute etc
 * experience of listening to that first session on the radio
 * feedback they got from listeners/whether it made a big difference to their 'careers' (ugh) any other thoughts and anecdotes about John

If we decided to go down this path it may be useful to design a consistent approach through agreement on questions such as these. Over time such contributions could provide a unique source of information in their own right.

Any thoughts? If enough people think this a good idea perhaps we could get together out of group and agree an approach that stands the best chance of working...anyone interested or am I alone and deluded?

Cheers all,

Colin
