#KEEPINGITPEEL – OCTOBER 25TH
What Is It ?
It is a sort of John Peel Day, but with this one it isn’t about artists who performed – it’s for those who listened…
When Is It ?
Every year on October 25th, the day we lost the great man…
Why Do It ?
To honour his memory and legacy.
The genesis of this idea came about when I read a post on August 30th done by Teenage Kicks (festive50.wordpress.com) which commemorated what would have been John Peel’s 71st birthday.
It was this coupled with something that The Vinyl Villian had done earlier this year which inspired me to create this day when all bloggers remember the legendary DJ.
How Can I Get Involved ?
By posting something on that day which is Peel related. If you have a blog or a Twitter account then post a Peel Session track from your favourite artist and label it #keepingitpeel
If you are on Facebook you can join in too: Post a YouTube video of a Peel Session track.
Who Is Taking Part ?
The author – Webbie @ Football and Music, as well as…
…and many, many more …
» If you are taking part, with your blog or with tumblr or twitter, or anything – then leave a comment or drop Webbie a line. We’ll add you to the list and give a mention on Twitter and on this website, of your contribution.
Don’t Forget…

I will take part again but unfortunately don’t have the time to spend that I did on last year so it will only be the one post on the 25th.
