Show

 * Name
 * John Peel


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1984-04-24


 * Comments
 * Gets Kid Jensen to read out the details of the French band as he has "quadruple nationality" but he gets it wrong and introduces del Amitri instead.
 * Peel & Jensen find some ruined partially signed pictures of Peter Powell in the studio bin, so decide to hold a competition to win them - the question is "how many weeks holiday has Peter Powell had so far this year?"
 * Jensen points out that Peter Powell is growing a beard and looks a bit like one of the Village People
 * Peel then draws a beard on the photos
 * Seems very taken with del Amitri session - probably the only time anyone has ever said "why aren't there more del Amitri records?"
 * Mentions that the stuff he gets sent from Recommended Records smell much nicer than anyone elses releases.
