Links To Peel
On the 25 March 1981 show (when the second session was repeated), Peel mentions that the only Edinburgh band he's failed to meet up with during Radio One's week in Scotland are the Visitors. Later in the show John McVay from the band turns up at the studio for an interview.
Peel gave the band the money to release their second single on their own label. The third single featured two tracks taken from the band's second Peel session.
