I realised this evening that I have a certain reputation with the staff in my local when the fact that I had bought a half pint became a talking point behind the bar!
Which reminded me of this great song by Thin Lizzy (from the John Peel sessions):

Any excuse for Lizzy ! Seems surprising looking back that they played Peel, wouldn't have happened after '77.
ReplyDeleteHalf-pints ? All OK ?
In 1976, Peel's favourite song was briefly "Rose of Cimarron" by Poco.
ReplyDeleteIn the early 70s his show featured plenty of sessions by prog, folk-rock and hard rock acts which he would later turn his back on.
I'm fine, thanks, Martin - just a swift half (after several pints) before I rushed for the last bus.
ReplyDeleteI agree, CM: John Peel used to champion a range of music, including folk rockers Fairport Convention, but I found his show virtually unlistenable after 1977.
Yeah saw the great Lizzy many times. For me Peel lasted a little longer but eventually seemed to lose the plot altogether. Or perhaps I grew up!
ReplyDeleteNo, he lost the plot!
