==Links to Peel==
Linda Lewis performed at Glastonbury in 1971 , where Peel was present. He reviewed her single, 'Play Around', on Singles Reviews in the Sounds music paper, published on 29th September 1973, describing her a most amiable person and confessing that her voice was rather too high-pitched. In 1975, he was at Knebworth, where she performed her set and there's probably a high probability that he played some of her material on his shows, according to tracklistings on this site.
