Blue Aeroplanes

The Blue Aeroplanes are an English rock band from Bristol, the mainstays of which have been Gerard Langley, brother John Langley, and dancer Wojtek Dmochowski. All three had previously been members of the new wave "art band" Art Objects from 1978 to 1981.
The Blue Aeroplanes first performed under that name at the King Street Art Gallery in Bristol in 1981. They consisted mainly of former members of Art Objects, with the addition of Nick Jacobs, former guitarist and vocalist of Southampton band the Exploding Seagulls. The same line-up played three or four concerts over the next couple of years, either at the gallery or for benefits, including a Karl Marx centenary performance at the Victoria Rooms, with the addition of trumpet and didgeridoo.

==Links to Peel==
Peel played music from the band's previous group, the Art Objects, on his radio programmes, and would play songs from the Blue Aeroplanes when they evolved into that group by the mid-80's.
On his 22 April 1986 show, Peel mentioned reading that John from the Blue Aeroplanes has 2 LP's  of a Guided Tour Of Polish Caves, which he would like to have. In fact, the 2 LP's turned out to be 7" flexis featuring The Postojna Cave in Slovenia, which Peel played on his radio programmes.
In a 2017 interview with the Is This Music? website, Gerard Langley claimed that Peel never played the band's music:
"We never got much national radio. We got the early evening plays, we got Janice Long but we never got much daytime play, and we never got any John Peel. So we never relied much on that, to be honest." 
In fact, from the evidence shown below, his evidence of Peel not playing their music, turns out to be false. However, after the 80's, Peel never played any of their music, which Gerard may have thought of that conclusion of the DJ not playing their songs.
