*Avant-garde composer Anna Lockwood (later known as Annea Lockwood) makes an appearance.. She staged a series of "Glass Concerts" at Middle Earth in early 1968, and can be seen breaking glass in a 1966 BBC archive clip In October 1968 she and Harvey Matusow burned a grand piano onstage. A preview of the event in International Times stated that "A seance will follow to summon up the ghost of Ludwig Van Beethoven." In 1973 she moved permanently to the USA.
*Shirley Collins is accompanied on this session by Tinderbox, a duo consisting of singer-songwriter Steve Ashley and Dave Menday. Ashley later joined the Albion Country Band and appeared on their first Peel session in 1972 (although in Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions he is wrongly listed as "Steve Ashby"). His 1974 solo LP, Stroll On, was widely praised by critics (it included "Fire and WIne", done on this session) and, unusually for a folk LP, issued in the US on the Motown label - although Peel seems to have ignored it.
*James Verner and Mike Tristram are also named in date pages, though as they are not in the session artists section of Ken's book, they may well have been studio guests (or guest poets). Indeed, Mike Tristram is interviewed by Peel - see below.
*Peel also talks to the director of the musical "Hair", a hit with audiences in both the USA and London. It took hippies as its subject but hippies themselves tended to view it as a commercial rip-off. It did however provide work for artists who did sessions for Peel, with the London cast including Sonja Kristina (later of Curved Air), Marsha Hunt and Alex Harvey. Mike Oldfield played for a short time in the pit band until he was fired for not playing his part as written.
