| Post subject: | Radio Dandelion |
Not a bad internet radio station . It was set up after Peelies death to carry on the playing the music he played. They also say: Dandelion Radio to do the Festive 50: 1975 was the last time BBC Radio 1 listeners experienced a Christmas without a Festive Fifty, for it was set up the following year, by the legendary DJ John Peel. The Festive 50 has been an institution on BBC Radio 1 since it was set up as an annual listeners poll in 1976. Now, after 30 consecutive years (excluding a couple of lapses) of Festive Fifties (the last two being run in the absence of the much-missed DJ, by Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens), Radio 1 has decided, for a variety of good reasons, to not run a Festive Fifty for 2006. However, Dandelion Radio is proud to announce that John Peel’s old programme team has asked us if we would take up the baton of hosting this annual yuletide music fest, “The Festive Fifty”, We're not the BBC, and don't have the same resources, so we can't exactly replicate what has gone before. However, we can and will produce a Festive Fifty in the spirit of its originator. For full details and how to vote, click Fair play to them. |
