RE: Brian Eno visits Peel Acres 


"Ahead of the BBC Music John Peel Lecture, Brian Eno takes a trip around John's archive"

Fantastic 4 mins of video with Eno, highly recommended viewing. What any of us wouldn't give to be honoured with a few days to poke around there in the archives at Peel Acres.
Eno gets the date wrong though for the first time he heard The Velvet Underground on Radio London: He claims August 17th 1967. The last Perfumed Garden broadcast was after midnight on August 14th of that year, ahead of the August 15th imposition of the legislation putting the pirates, effectively, out of business.
