Just received this email:

Dear All

I would be grateful if you would do two things for me to mark one John Peel’s passing:

As in the spirit of the original Festive Fifty, please send me your top three tracks (singles or LP tracks) in order 1 2 3. Please ensure you send both name of track as well as artist/group

Send this email to a bunch of people, asking them to send their top 3 to me at geoff.curran@btinternet.com by midnight 17th December

I will collate the answers and put out a definitive Festive Fifty at www.festivefifty.net on 24th December this year

I know this sounds a little…….but my love of music was fuelled by Peelie and having read the Mick Wall book, it brought it home how much he gave us and I would like to give a little back myself. If you think this is bollocks, then please do not reply but do me a favour, send it on as there are plenty of people who will not feel that way.

Cheers

Geoff
