I read a book not to long back about a bouncer from the north of england that ended up being one of the biggest promoters up ther einthe 70s & 80s and he'd let John peel do his roadshow at his gigs when Peel was just starting out n no one else cept the kids would give himt he time of day.

As a thank you, John wrote the foreword and even though it was 30 odd years ago and he's massive now, he still came across as genuinely touched and greatful and just a really nice genuine person.
