NEW MUSIC WEBSITE LAUNCHED IN PEEL'S MEMORY
John Peel Day is also being used to announce an interesting new venture 
from
Peel's iconic record label Dandelion Records and Universal Music - a 
new
music website called, simply, http://www.johnpeelmusic.com. Devoted to
discovering and championing great new music, this site will be 
supervised by
John's son, Tom Ravenscroft, who will work alongside Peel's long time 
agent
Clive Selwood, a former director of Dandelion Records as well as 
Elektra,
CBS, Pye and UK Records. New musical talent will be encouraged to 
upload
their music to the site, while music fans will be asked to rate the 
music
posted. Selwood explains: "For 30-odd years John was the point of 
reference
for the best new cutting edge talent and now there's no real 
replacement.
The ethos behind this site is to fill that void and in turn reveal the 
next
generation of recording stars." Confirming their involvement in the 
project,
Universal boss Lucian Grainge told CMU: "When I was starting out in the
business as an A&R scout, I played John Peel's show in my Mini 
virtually
every night. It is terrific to play a part in continuing the legacy of
someone who influenced the careers of so many artists, as well as the 
A&R
community."
