Great too when you contact a band that you’ve just worked out are the creators of mixtape session unknowns and they are so pleased at the interest 30 years after the fact they send you 2 copies of not yet released Peel Session CDs and a copy of their latest solo project CDs as well!

There is some great work going on here in saving important parts of the nations' broadcasting heritage. But I have also always been uneasy about becoming too nostalgic (my definition of being old is when I stop buying new albums). But having said that, it is wonderful when we get a conversation going about TV21, and the bass player chips in with some snippets of info on an obscure session-only cover version :)

The fact that we might have unearthed the only recording (outside the BBC archives which may never be opened up in full) of the Farenji Warriors for example (whether that is one’s thing or not being beside the point) is certainly quite exciting and probably more so than say datamining 20 year old Youtube archives in the future.
