1994

[lorcan58]

That's very kind of you Eddie.

But it wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of 
listeners who painstakingly scribbled down the listings night after 
night for years on end and then preserved them until they could be 
used.

And I'm also indebted to everyone in this group for breathing life 
back into the John Peel Show in a way I wouldn't have imagined was 
possible. Different people are contributing in different ways but the 
combined result is greater than the sum of the parts and is something 
I'm proud to be involved with, even in a small way.
