"John Peel's Scottish Sessions" BBC Radio Scotland, Christmas Day

[Stuart]

I don't expect I'll be able to suggest anything that hasn't already occurred to Nick Tom and yourself, so I would hope the likes of the Scars, Josef K, Primevals would get a mention, as well as the bands JP supported even after they made it eg Simple Minds. Slightly off topic would be the fact that Radio Scotland and Radio Clyde also had sessions from local bands, Colin Sommerville/Bily Sloan would be able to help out there. And of Course there was the Sounds of the Suburbs TV show..
