[peel] Re: ULTIMATE Festive 50 resource

[ROGER CARRUTHERS]

Funny thing -  a few weeks ago i handed in an
assignment for a college course which was along these
lines; a Peel database with info on various shows,
sessions,  recordings & where you could download 'em
from.
 Sadly my SQL chops weren't really up do it, but I
remember at the time marveling at all the work that
must have gone into the creating database used for
Ken's book (which, of course i referred to constantly)
which I beleive was made by his brother (?).
Putting that online, with download links for any
recordings available, would be the mother of all Peel
resources...
cheers
