Peel booked the band for a session after singer David Fenton sent him a demo in 1979 while they were supporting The Jam. When the session was repeated again on 20 August 1979, Peel said that it sounded better the second time around. The band appeared with the Beat at a John Peel Roadshow gig in Guildford in November 1979 [1]. On 01 October 1997, the session track 'Trains' was broadcast to celebrate Peel's 30 years on BBC Radio One. Peel claimed on his 17 April 2002 show that he and Sheila were singing 'Turning Japanese', while touring Rajasthan in India.
