In Peeling Back The Years, JP mentioned to John Walters that the first gig he ever went to was with his mother at Liverpool Stadium in 1954 to see the Obernkirchen Children's Choir: "You see, the very first gig I went to, my mother took me to see Obernkirchen Children's Choir. The Happy Wanderer. "Der fröhliche Wanderer", as they say in Germany, with a great show of reluctance. And I went to see him at the Stadium – them rather, at the Stadium in Liverpool." He later played The Happy Wanderer as part of the Pig's Big 78.

However, this rather dismissive mention of the group was expanded on at length in Margrave Of The Marshes. He had been excited at the prospect of the record being the first to spend a year in the top 20, although it dropped out in the 52nd week. Moreover, the concert was significant to Peel in two ways: culturally, because he considered it a daring move to bring children from Germany to perform in England less than 10 years after the war had ended; and sexually due to his fascination with one of the girl choristers. "I loved the way she moved and became obsessed with her in the way that you can when you are fourteen and pretty stupid." He later played The Happy Wanderer as part of the Pig's Big 78.
