The Olivetti Chronicles: Three Decades of Life and Music | John Peel

Collection of Peel's journalism over 3 decades, showcasing the mordant wit which made him the most beloved radio dj of all time. The Pig (wife) William (A Boy), Madge (A Simple Village Maiden) and of course Gabs The Appalling Red-Haired Sister-in-Law all make regular appearances. An absolute delight.

This book is stuffed with great lines

Libby1 Great description of Van the Man. He‘s from Northern Ireland (where I now live) and he‘s known here as quite a prickly character! 5y

Minervasbutler @Libby1 So I hear. Genius, of course, but a smidgeon on the grumpy side lol 5y
