John Peel " Margrave of the Marshes" (Bantam hardback)




I starters this book at the beginning of last year and the reason for the slow read is that i had often read a chapter and moved onto a new book in the meantime, and many chapters i re-read as much of the book was very enjoyable. 

Cant say i am surprised by the varied and interesting life Peel lead. The public's reaction to his death said much about the affection this man enjoyed in his career and rightly so, in such a negative world his positivity in his field was clear, even if you weren't really into music. Definitely preferred Peels half of this book to the latter half mind. I have always enjoyed the existence of people who put your own ability into perspective. I've always fancied myself as a music buff but in comparison to this man you realise how blinkered you are. How a man can keep his passion up for the business and move with the times like he did amazes me. Hats off to John and his book.
