What is the link between Carol Vorderman and John peel?

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

Just watched a repeat of never Mind the Buzzcocks when Carol Vorderman of Countdown fame revealed that she knew all the words to teenage kicks as she was in Dawn Chorus and the Blue Tits with Liz Kershaw and they did a cover of Peel's favourite. The band appeared on this mixtape  http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Kilburn_85 and I wanted to edit the footnote that  Steve provided originally to include this amazing fact - but can't seem to manage it

anyone looking for Peel related pub quiz questions would find this hard to beat?
