==Links to Peel==
Peel didn't seem to play any tracks from the musician under his own name, according to available tracklistings on this site, but his producer, John Walters, did play the tune, "The Girl From Ipanema", whose Portuguese lyrics were written by him and sung along with his then wife, Astrud Gilberto, whilst sitting in for Peel in 1988.
