Peel Day- What did you get up to?

[Neil Saddington]

>And likewise Jimmy, it was nice to talk to you. A great evening had 
by all. When i eventually got back home to Edinburgh i tuned into 
Colin Murray's show to see if he would acknowledge Peel day and he 
finished the Show with an old session track from 3 Inches of Blood.  

Then he played a recording of Peel introducing his favourite happy 
hardcore track of 1996 which was a cover of Chigaco's - Hard to say 
I'm Sorry. Not sure about John's judgement on that one, but now 
that Peelies no longer with us, you don't get to hear much happy hard 
core on the radio.

All the best
