John Peel’s Shed became a huge cult-hit when it launched at Edinburgh in 2011, garnering rave reviews and selling out the whole run. It was recorded for BBC Radio 4 and has been entertaining misty-eyed music fans across the UK ever since.
In 2002, John Osborne won a competition on John Peel’s Radio 1 show. His prize was a box of records that took eight years to listen to. This is an ode to radio, those records and anyone who’s ever sought solace in wireless.
‘This was a gentle, self-deprecating, funny meander across formative years as refracted through the radio-listening that quietly knitted itself into his life.’ – The Guardian
