I respect John Peel was one of your idols but I have never heard of him.
What band did he play with?

Mick Fleetwood on the other hand - now there's a 60's legend/survivor - ex
John Mayall Blues Breakers ex Fleetwood Mac and surprisingly still going
strong and also really surprisingly is playing with his blues band at Souths
Juniors, Nr.Maroubra, Sydney, on the 23rd.

Here's his band - Mick's on drums - playing  "Albatross". An appropriate
birdie reference given the Maroubra location.

Click on "Black Magic Woman" if you prefer something stronger

Cheers
