Peel show rebroadcast on Durtch radio

[John Bravin]

For a few days you can listen again to a John Peel show broadcast on a Dutch radio station VPRO on 29 January1986. In the 80's John did a weekly show live in Holland (not a recorded broadcast as for the Finish and German shows) and championed a few unknown Dutch bands. The show starts with a Dutch presenter giving an introduction but the rest of the show is Peel speaking in English.

"For a few years he would come over to Holland every three weeks. He would do one show live, and record two. Afterwards, he'd stay at my place. He was a very strict vegetarian. If he had to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, he would run through the kitchen. That's where the cat food was. He found the smell so repulsive he would run away from it even in the dead of night." (Jan Donkers, VPRO)

The first show is followed by two other hour long shows presented by Luc Janssen playing some Peel type music. And if you feel like experimenting try the Webradio Tab - there are VPRO shows playing house, broken-beat, UK-garage, techno, breakbeat, drum 'n bass, punk, metal, roots, Americana and experimental.

Anyone know of a link to the Finnish station?
