  • Start of show: "Well, for the second time this week the clever intro didn't quite come off."
  • Peel says he's due to play Fabric again that summer (Aug 2, he thinks).
  • Liverpool to play Ipswich that weekend. Peel thinks it's going to be the most painful of his life. (In the event, Liverpool won 5-0 and Ipswich were relegated.)
  • 'Swing Your Daddy' played after Peel heard Jonathan Ross play it. JP rates it as one of the best singles of 1975.
  • Peel relates the tale of the John Peel Roadshow in Silloth, when he ended up barricaded in the manager's office and was advised by the police not to stay in town that night. This apparently took place in December 1984 [1], possibly the 15th [2].
  • JP is reminded by a listener that he compared the first day of the Hollywood Music Festival near Newcastle Under Lyme (see Gigography 1970s).
