National Rock & Pop Awards

Peel turned up at the Cafe Royal for the National Rock & Pop awards on 26 February 1980 to introduce the Radio 1 DJs award winners, Jerry Dammers/The Specials, who picked up the prize via satellite link (the band were actually in Los Angeles with Andy Peebles). The television coverage was broadcast the following day (see below).
