tributo a peel

John Peel Acts to play in John Peel tribute
New Order, The Fall and the Super Furry Animals are among those playing in memory of the late John Peel at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on Wednesday.
The concert comes on the eve of John Peel Day and also features performances from less well-known acts, reflecting the former Radio 1 DJ's own playlists.
Peel's widow Sheila will attend the London concert. Thursday's event marks the DJ's last broadcast a year ago. John Peel died on October 25 last year while on holiday in Peru.

Countrywide gigs
His widow said:"It will be odd being there without him, but myself and the rest of the family are looking forward to what should be a terrific night."
The concert pays tribute to John Peel's desire to champion new acts, with outfits such as Jawbone and Venetian Snares sharing the billing with the likes of Laura Cantrell and the reggae band Misty In Roots.
Super Furry Animals were among the acts played by Peel. More than 300 gigs are taking place across the country on Thursday to celebrate John Peel Day and events are also being held in Spain, Germany, Italy, US, Holland, New Zealand and Canada to mark the legendary DJ's life.
