[peel] Peel - The Future

[ady foley]

I totally agree Martin.  Obviously John's irreplaceable, but it's
important that his legacy is continued and that means steering away
from the safe path of bland playlists and putting in place some one who
will continue to champion new music, whilst not forgetting the great
music of the past.  Most importantly, someone who will play the music
that they want to, not what they're told to.

I'd hope that Radio 1 wouldn't rush into any decisions on this and will
listen to people's views and think very carefully about how they can
fill the void now that John has gone. 

For now though, I'm sure there's plenty of great session tracks to be
repeated or some good guest presenters until that decision's made.
