David Gedge recalled an early meeting with Peel when the DJ was the subject of This Is Your Life (broadcast Jan. 1996): "One of the first times I actually pressed one of my grubby tapes into your palm was when you did a disco in Ilkley. I traveled up from Leeds to come and see you and eventually plucked up the courage. And you were actually I think more interested in how I was going to get home, because I think the trains had all finished or the buses, and you said, “How are you getting back?” I said, “I don’t know, I never thought about that actually.” You said, “I’ll give you a lift.” I said, “You can’t give me a lift, you’re going completely the wrong way.” And in the end, you actually got me in your car, you sent me all the way home, dropped me off at my door … I’ll never forget it, be

And that’s more important than anything else.” In 1993, when interviewing Peel for Chain Reaction, Gedge remembered taking a Lost Pandas demo down to London to hand to Peel in person: * DG: I saw you enter the building and I thought, “That’s him, that’s him.” And we were just too scared so we legged it around the corner. A couple of hours later we sort of regained our composure and said, “Excuse me, Mr Peel, would you like to listen to our demo tape.” * JP: That’s right. Because I always felt very bad. I’ve still got those demo tapes, incidentally. * DG: I know! As you always remind me every time I meet you! * JP: Don’t know if there’s any bootleggers out there who would be interested in coming to some sort of arrangement. In fact, it was Andy Kershaw who eventually gave the Wedding Present their first Radio One session, in November 1985, three months ahead of Peel. The band, however, would come to be closely identified with JP and his show, recording 12 sessions and second only to the Fall in terms of Festive Fifty success. Peel's support for Gedge continued when the musician moved on to form Cinerama in the late 1990s. By 2004, however, Gedge had reverted to the Wedding Present name, recording a final Peel session that was broadcast in the final full month of Peel's shows and returning to the Festive Fifty at the end of that year.
