1979 In Concert

Peel stopped being the regular presenter of In Concert at the end of 1971 but continued to host occasional programmes in the series.

Year pages after 1971, intended for reference, are based on a list compiled by Peel Mailing List member Jim from Westminster City Library's collection of Radio Times and shared in his message to the Mailing List. In some cases, originally scheduled programming may have been changed. Many thanks to Haze for additional details.

Shows hosted by Peel are indicated if known, largely from the list shared by Mailing List member Darren from his own Radio Times collection. While not complete, his list includes the non-Peel show presenters.

Please open date pages only for shows hosted by Peel.
