Thanks to Johnpeel3904 for creating the Bloc Party page. I'd tentatively started work on such a page myself only last week - got as far as writing up the session details and some of the plays - so this has saved me a job. Looking back, I remember thinking it was a bit odd at the time that Peel should be giving them coverage on his show. Usually he avoided groups that were already the flavour of the month with the weekly music inkies (as Bloc Party were). I suppose he either felt that such bands would be played elsewhere, or maybe he didn't rate them that much (eg the Libertines). There were some exceptions of course, The Strokes and Interpol being two. Maybe he just liked them!
