Margrave of the Marshes by John Peel
Describes with characteristic humour John Peel's early life, from child to man, including his school days and National Service. This book provides an intimate portrait of the man and his music, and the highs and the lows of everyday life at Peel Acres. Begun before his untimely death in October 2004, it was completed by his wife Sheila.
John Peel was born the day before the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. His 38-year career as a radio DJ is the stuff of legend and the bands he went on to discover too numerous to mention, though David Bowie, Roxy Music, T Rex, Genesis, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, Radiohead and the White Stripes would do as a start. He lived in Suffolk with his wife Sheila and their children William, Thomas, Alexandra and Florence, plus various dogs and cats, until his death in October 2004.
