Peel remembered in new art exhibition

Fifty artists have paid tribute to veteran Radio 1 DJ John Peel in a new exhibition opening this week in London.

The works are all inspired by Peel's boundless energy and the many bands he promoted on his show over the years.

"Peter Harris pays homage to Lee "Scratch" Perry; Jessica Voorsanger knits the album cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; Kes Richardson presents a portrait of the family man with his grandson Archie."
