The Collection (Peel Acres)

The Collection is a BBC Radio 6 Music series where Tom Ravenscroft invites a different guest each week to Peel Acres: the home of his dad, former BBC radio DJ John Peel, and his legendary music collection. A second series began on Jan 1, 2023, with Jarvis Cocker as the first guest.
Tom’s musical guests lend a hand (and two ears) in making sense of this vast record archive, which comprises tens of thousands of albums and singles, built over a lifetime and meticulously catalogued.
John’s broadcasting career spanned five decades, until his death in 2004. He’s known for the thousands of Peel Sessions broadcast on his BBC Radio 1 show, and for playing an instrumental role in the early careers of many bands; including Pulp, The Smiths, The Undertones and The White Stripes.
