  • Peel also dedicated a record to Dexter on his 19 July 1967 show, where he called him 'a very good person'. Soon after Radio London closed down, Peel himself did a DJ night at Tiles, but as he mentioned in his International Times column[ref], it was not a success and the club closed soon afterwards. In an interview conducted in February 1998, Dexter mentioned his interaction with Peel at Middle Earth: [1] Yeah. John’s records were strictly for listening to. I played to the audience. Any DJ worth his salt knows how put one record on after another so they seem seamless, and, although that was becoming less important, to me it was still important that once the place was full, I wanted those people to have a good time. I mixed the two together. Jeff Dexter hosted many live open-air festivals (including the Isle Of Wight Festivals of 1969 and 1970) and after the closedown of Middle Earth organised the Implosion gigs at the Roundhouse[2], run for the benefit of the underground community rather than for profit. Artists who performed at Implosion ranged from hippy community bands like Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies to stars like the Who, and many did sessions for Peel. But it is possible that Peel's friendship with Jeff Dexter came under strain when the group Dexter managed, America(2), turned up on Peel's doorstep at 2 a.m. and asked if they could play for him. As Sheila Ravenscroft recounted in Margrave of the Marshes (p. 264), "John was uncommonly forthright in expressing his determination to return to bed with their bleatings unheard". It was one of the incidents which made the DJ decide to leave London. Jeff Dexter did make a few appearances as holiday cover for other DJs in the early days of Radio 1's Sounds of the Seventies, but was unable to repeat his live DJ success on the radio.
