Anyone know if the Quickspace session on Thursday is a repeat of last
year's one or a new one? And what's the Hefner one all about, didn't
Peel keep saying it was a gospel type thingummy?

The Hefner session is all covers of gospel classics. Should be interesting.
Better than certain bands who just see the Peel session as a promotional
device, and do identical versions of songs on their latest LP.

The pattern this year seems to be a Thursday broadcast from Broadcasting
Cottage, with a repeat session. New sessions or live stuff on the Tues/Weds
shows from London. This means Peelie is only stuck in the metropolis for one
day a week.

My extensive records tell me that the most recent Quickspace session only
went out on 20/10/98, so my guess is that it'll be repeated this Thurs.

Talking of which, wouldn't it be nice for someone to put out a sequel to the
Ken Garner "In Session Tonight" book, which contained listings for (almost)
every BBC radio session up to its publication date in 1992, and is an
essential read for anyone interested in the Peel Show phenomenon. (Not sure
if you can still get it, though).

Cheers!
