    A John Peel Tribute day will be held in The Hub, Temple Bar, Dublin on Thursday 13th October.

    A full list of bands playing will be announced shortly. All music on the night will be played by Leagues O'Toole, Joss & Dudley (Dudley Corporation) & Emmet (House of Mexico)

    All money raised will be donated to charity chosen by The Peel family.

    It would be great if more events can be held around the country.

    PS Good luck with the gig! Hope it goes well.
