John Peel Day - October 13th

Auntie Beeb pays respects to her greatest DJ, John Peel.

The very first John Peel Day will take place on Thursday October 13th. The day will be a celebration of John's life and massive contribution to music and broadcasting with as many venues as possible staging gigs across the UK under the banner of Peel Day.

Prior to this there will be a very special London gig organised by Radio 1 with details to be confirmed nearer the time.

How you can be involved!
We're encouraging as many people as possible to organise their own gig as a tribute to John. This can be anything from a couple of unsigned bands down the local pub to hiring an entire venue and booking some Happy Hardcore DJs! It's entirely up to you.

If you are producing posters or fliers to promote the event you can download a logo to use on them. We'd also like to hear about what you are organising.
