Snapdragons

The Snapdragons (sometimes referred to as The Snapdragons UK, to distinguish them from the later US band of the same name) were an indie rock band from Leeds, England. They were led by their singer and main songwriter, James Taylor (not to be confused with The Prisoners mainman or the American singer-songwriter of the same name). They released two albums and four singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, while signed to the independent record label,  Native Records.

==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first played the band's material in August 1989 via their debut album, 'Dawn Raids On Morality'. His BBC Radio One colleague, Simon Mayo, played the band's debut single a year before in 1988 and had them do a session for his show. 
Peel would continue play the group's records until early 1990, as well as a session they recorded for his show in October 1989. He also mentioned on his 12 December 1989 programme that if he had the chance to vote in the 1989 Festive Fifty, he would vote amongst others, Snapdragons' 'Our Tune'. The song ultimately did not enter the 1989 Festive Fifty.
