PA 03/04 1612 LIFE OF BROADCASTER WALTERS REMEMBERED By Anthony Barnes, Showbusiness Editor, PA News Broadcaster and radio wit John Walters was remembered by family and friends including John Peel at a celebration of his life today. Walters, who was Peel's Radio 1 producer for many years and a champion of eccentric new music, died suddenly in July last year at the age of 63. Guests packed the radio theatre at the BBC's Broadcasting House to pay tribute to his life and career. The Rev Ernest Rea, former head of religious programmes for the corporation, said: "John was a very special man who brought intelligent, eclectic skills to radio and television. "He could be opinionated and outrageous but he was supremely talented and enormous fun." Radio 3 world music presenter Andy Kershaw said: "With John in the building, you wanted to go to work." He said Walters had a "natural feel" for broadcasting, and Kershaw recalled a management meeting at which a chart of audience views had been produced. Kershaw added: "Afterwards in the pub John said `we're not here to give the public what it wants; we're here to give the public what it doesn't know it wants'." And Walters' friend, Ian Sharp, a film director, said: "He never let a bit of truth get in the way of a good story." Also at the celebration was singer Robert Wyatt who praised his kindness and generosity. Walters was a trained artist and a musician with the Alan Price Set before turning to radio in the late sixties, producing Peel's groundbreaking Top Gear programme. He later landed his own show, Walters' Week, on Radio 1. Shortly before he died he had stood in for Peel on his Radio 4 show, Home Truths. The story Peel told on-air about the rude words was hilarious. I only half-heard him speaking about his vacation... did he say he was going to India? tom From nburling@...

It's connected to both the British Foreign office and to some sort of music industry confab there. I clipped the weblinks and some of the pertinent text below. Some of the sites had a few pictures from the event, just taken Thursday and I have clipped 3 of them and upladed them to the yahoo peel group photos area at http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/peel/lst?&.dir=/New+Zealand+2002&.src=gr&.view=t&.last=1 When I realized that this event was taking place in Auckand, the first thought I had was of the excellent college/alternative station the b95FM - one of the first and best webcasters in the world, and a longtime favorite here, well before BBC got on the web. Mornings here in Atlanta are late overnight there and they play good music all day and even wilder stuff overnights. And sure enough, a check of their site showed that Peel was involved with some sort of b95FM event last night. I listened occasionally throughout the day in case the event was aired or simulcast in some way so I might alert all of you, but either it wasn't, or I missed it, or it happened while I slept. The site claims it will webclip the event later. Lastly, if you really need a JP programming fix, note that the BBCWS half hours roll on over the air on MW and SW and on the web too.. late late tuesday night your time, and midday sunday your time. In GMT: Tuesdays 0405 Sundays 13:05 & 20:05 Also the his Radio Mafia show is on the web on alternating Wednesdays at 10PM UK time. Or at least it used to be. anyway here's some of the stuff I found yesterday. tom r http://music.britishcouncil.org/events/ This page lists past and future events in which the British Council Music Department has actively participated, both as organisors and sponsors.

March 2002 New Zealand, Auckland Intermediate - UK music journalist and and DJ, John Peel to attend a 5 day media forum that showcases some of the best journalists, writers and columnists from New Zealand and the UK. The forum hopes to promote the sharing of best practice, ideas and debate on pertinent issues.

Working on 'pirate' station Radio London from the mid 60s, Peel was offered a full time position with the newly launched BBC Radio 1 in 1967, when that station was introduced to replace the recently outlawed (albeit very popular) 'pirate' stations. Famously open to new musical trends, Peel soon established himself as the "man with his finger on the pulse", encouraging and fostering many struggling bands, with diverse musical backgrounds, through increased airplay and documentary style special broadcasts. These broadcasts, known far and wide as The Peel Sessions, include work by many famous (and now not so famous) bands including The Fall, Jimi Hendrix, The Smiths and The Smashing Pumpkins. Peel has also been at the forefront of introducing new bands to the popular consciousness, including Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. His tastes remain eclectic, however, and while promoting mainstream groups, his interests in leftfield performers have led him to champion the likes of Mogwai, Pulp and The White Stripes. Peel also writes for British publications, including national newspapers and has a permanent column in the Radio Times. For more information on the InterMEDIAte seminars, please follow the related link below. http://www.95bfm.com/events.php?id=28&flash_detect=true 95 bFM hosts John Peel 95bFM is very proud to present an evening with legendary BBC radio DJ John Peel on Saturday 23 March. His radio shows have been broadcast on numerous stations around the world (including bFM) and dozens of influential international artists have had their music released under the world famous 'John Peel Sessions' name after recording for his show. Sharing the stage with Mr. Peel will be Hard News guru Russell Brown and former 95bFM Breakfast host Graeme Hill. There will also be performances by two surprise guest artists. It will be an intimate affair at the Classic on Queen Street and will kick off at 7pm. Unfortunately tickets for this show have now sold out. However, we will be posting an edited highlights QuickTime movie on the site in the next couple of weeks. -- From bill.spiby@... Wed Mar 27 21:56:26 2002 From: bill.spiby@...

Rob hi everyone, i guess this might act as a surprise that it follows the last mailout so rapidly, well just that some rather important news has just come in... after having hinted at it in recent mailouts and correspondence, the time has come my friends to reveal that earworm grinds to a halt this summer after nearly 6 years of hustling! when i started earworm, and in fact, enraptured, way back in 96, it was because of a fondness for vinyl, especially the nicely packaged 45. however, despite a thousand other labels still thankfully churning out their wax, sad facts are that we live in a climate where cds are where the money lies, and that releasing a 7" single (especially by a total newcomer) is almost frowned upon from your distributors and others, which i feel is a real pity. it'd be the easiest thing in the world for me to just churn out cd after cd without giving a damn about it, but that's just not what i started earworm to do. i'm chuffed to look back and know that those debuts by electric sound of joy and novak (to name two) were put out (back then, as a gamble almost) on earworm, likwise that the apples in stereo and yo la tengo released their first uk stuff through the label, yet those days seem a million years ago. where once we had the nme, melody maker and others championing the causes of the indie, we now have a solitary comic in it's place masquerading as the nme! (did nick kent and (ocassionally) lester bangs REALLY write for THAT?!) i personally felt handicapped by not being able to afford a press company to side with, to REALLY promote each release, and build upon my humble promo capabilities, a lack of the folding stuff really catches up with you for sure! anyway, it's VERY easy to get all poncey on you here, but just to say a huge thanks for hanging on in there, there is some 'triffic stuff still to come in the last 3 releases (details below), so be ready for those, but for now just to say a sincere thank you to you all, here's what's to come in the next/final coupla months.... the final singles club 45 by peter daltrey (ex kaleidoscope) the acid mothers temple triple cd (hopefully)the last 4 singles which i mentioned last mailout, compiled with all a+b sides AND sleeve and label art as they would have appeared as 45s, compiled onto cd...at an affordable price. (even as a cd, i'm as excited about these singles as much as any in the past, all 4 are gems, at least this way, you get to hear them!) anyway, speak soon, there'll be a further mailout or 2 as the above stuff sees the light of day, cheers, dom.

They set up the default they to say "yes" which means one must "opt-out" if you don't want to receive e-mail advertising offers, etc. In other words, they set everyone up to receive spam. I thought it would be more 'official' if I sent it to you, and you in turn sent it to the List. If one doesn't want spam and advertising offers: the directions to change are that one must change all preferences to "NO" so you won't receive their advertising. They are supposedly sending out messages to everyone, but are saying it may take several weeks. In the meantime, they can happily release your contact information to others in accordance with their changed policy. Go to the Yahoogroups page: http://www.groups.yahoo.com . Click on Account Info on the top right corner of the screen. Enter your password when prompted, then below the listing of your email addresses, click on the link "Edit Marketing Preferences." It is set to Yes (which really means, please send me spam) on every option. Set them all to No, if you don't want unwanted mail, and, note that there are two more towards the bottom of the page about phone and snail mail spam. Lastly, click the button to save it.
