[peel] Lawrence Of Belgravia - peel content

[rockerq@...]

Of course Primitive Painters featured Elizabeth Frazer on vocals, so he could hardly not play that one, could he!

I saw the film in Bristol a few weeks ago, with Lawrence and the filmmaker guy doing a Q & A session afterwards.

What came over to me was that Lawrence totally fucked up by sending Peel that stroppy letter like a spoilt child demanding his singles back if Peel wasn't going to play them, then spent the next 2 decades blaming his lack of success on Peelie and others not playing his stuff. I think he didn't even realise it was his own fault until way too late, by which time Peel was dead.

He also at one point said, in relation to band members leaving, that a friendship meant nothing to him, if it got in the way of the band becoming successful.

Strangely he still managed to come over as incredibly likeable, though.

Cheers!

A quick search on the Peel wiki shows that Peel did play Felt several times.

The incident in question was around their debut single (which i fairness WAS awful) and the first album (Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty) which Peel apparently said on air

Still they never did a session - which, for a UK band on 4AD/Creation/Cherry Red is probably a more solid indicator of whether Peel was a fan or not. Primitive Painters was in the Festive 50 wasn't it?
