Links to Peel[]
Peel first played tracks from the Morwells and its backing band between the 70's and early 80's. Throughout most of the 80's, the Morwells were largely forgotten by Peel until 1997 when he played tracks from their re-issue album, 'Dub Me' in collaboration with King Tubby. After the 90's he rarely played any of their music.
