Plans announced for 'John Peel Day'

_40678233_peel_203.jpgThe BBC have announced that October 13th will be the first John Peel Day.

Hundreds of gigs will be taking place all over Britain in memory of the much-admired DJ. Radio 1 would like to enourage as many people to organise events as possible. Plans are also afoot for a major concert in London to coincide with Peel Day.

His widow Sheila Ravenscroft said:

"John would have been honoured and fairly amazed that the anniversary is being marked in such a way."
"He would appreciate that in years to come Peel Day will give new bands across the country the chance to be heard."
