A very a-Peel-ing set of shows in the North West

Article written by Paul M - Aug 21, 2012

Lancashire promoters Tuff Life Boogie aim to banish the austerity blues this Autumn with a programme of shows in Preston and Manchester celebrating John Peel Day (the anniversary of his last radio show in October 2004). The Un-Peeled shows feature acts who recorded sessions for the legendary DJ, spanning several generations and a variety of genres. Some of John Peel’s favourite artists appear at Un-Peeled, including The Groundhogs, The Stupids, Martin Carthy, The Cravats, The Nightingales, Yeah Yeah Noh, Bearsuit and Emma Pollock of The Delgados. Martin Bramah’s well-loved Blue Orchids have also reformed especially for the Manchester show.

There are five shows in Preston and an all-day event in Manchester. The Preston shows consist of two warm-ups and three themed gigs each highlighting a different strand of John Peel’s late-night radio shows; indie-pop, punk and folk. All the threads are tied together at the all-dayer in Manchester across two venues in the Northern Quarter, a spectacular event featuring 17 acts who recorded over 80 Peel sessions between them!

The Un-Peeled schedule reads like a typical John Peel show, featuring many artists Peel and his producer John Walters asked back to record time after time.

John Peel on The Delgados (Emma Pollock’s previous band who recorded 15 sessions): “The best in Britain. One of the greatest bands in the world.”
