About

Welcome to tributetojohnpeel.org. John Peel's early demise was a very sad event and left a huge gap unlikely to be filled. An immensely influential voice in the world of music is now mute.

John Peel managed to share his passion with a wide audience for decades, discovering hundreds of artists regardless of genre.His support gave exposure to unknown acts and started careers which would not have been without him, championing music for its quality rather than commercial viability.

This website was created to pay him a due tribute and to modestly try to carry on what he started: giving exposure to talent. We want to believe he would have approved a musical tribute giving a chance to emerging artists, something he did during his whole life.

We hope you appreciate what you will find. If you are interested in contributing (music or anything else), please drop us a line.
