John Peel signs to Fabric (kind of)
oappleby by Ollie Appleby November 11th, 2002
John Peel has, for the last 35 years, worked by one philosophy "find the newest and best music of any genre and give it airplay". Now Fabric Records have employed him for just that.

63 year old John Peel has signed up to Fabric Records to compile the December issue of the Fabric Live' CD set to feature 50 years of artists including Trouble Funk, Don Carlos, The Fall, The Avalanches, The Datsuns, MC Det, Smith &Selway and Joy Division, winding up with a stirring rendition of `You'll Never Walk Alone' by the Kop and of course the Peel song, `Teenage Kicks' by The Undertones.

'The John Peel Fabric Live Vol 7' album will be released in December.

In other John Peel news, this year's Festive Fifty list is up for nomination at the moment, if you havent' heard about it yet, or want to go and nominate your own band, hit the Radio 1 John Peel page for more details about that and other Peel related goings on.
