Those new polls on the site...

[ken garner]

Thanks for all the suggestions. But I stupidly pasted a few of them 
into the 67-84 poll and promptly lost the votes made already. Didn't 
read the instructions properly. Sorry, I won't fiddle again, but will 
save up your other new suggestions and put them in a new poll with a 
different name in a week or so. ER, those of you who voted in 67-84 
already, would you mind dipping in again? profound apologies.

PS. 
can't find one in my info by The Groove Farm, sorry. Fizzbombs, 
Eugenius, Stitched back foot airmen were not for Peel , but other 
shows, according to my records, sorry. I'm discounting Housemartins 
as the Fish City 4 (or was it 5?) because, althugh it's a story, it's 
hardly those people's only Peel appearance, which is the point. The 
Wild Sawns session was stupendous, seemingly everyone agrees on that, 
but they had done their first previously for Jensen and did another 
for Janice Long afterwards, so, again, I'm not sure they really fit 
the spirit of the idea, which, to be more precise, is bands who made 
their first and just about only Radio 1 live appearance in a Peel 
Session. John Fahey did one for Kershaw in the late 80s, so maybe...  

PPS. before I stupidly wiped the first half dozen votes out, I did 
spot that some of you had already voted for THE NEW AGE STEPPERS. Now 
this is useful. One or two correspondents wrote to me after In 
Session Tonight came out citing this as one I had missed, suggesting 
it was broadcast perhaps sometime in Summer 1981. But neither I nor 
BBC producers or archivists can find any documentary or audio trace 
of this session. No session sheet, no file, no tapes. There is not 
even a contract carbon at Written Archives. Nor does it show up, 
therefore, yet, on my master day by day calendar. All I know is 
gleaned from an unofficial On-U Sounds tribute site which claims to 
identify some of the tracks and that the line-up was huge! Does 
anyone, especially those of you who voted for it, have any other 
information about it all you can recall, which might lead me to at 
least pin down the broadcast date and line-up? Cheers!
