Happy John Peel day!The legendary broadcaster John Peel passed away on this day seven years ago today. His laconic style was comforting and wise.His unquenchable thirst for new music was admirable and his eclectic playlists were constantly challenging.His sessions were often must listens from the regulars like P J Harvey, Billy Bragg and The Fall to introductions to the likes of Arab Strap, The Beta band and Broadcast. Always a source of inspiration for everyone here at GIITTV, his legacy can still be heard in shows on 6music but sadly rarely at his old home of R1.
Which songs and artists did John turn you on to?!
