So I know it's sad that we need to recontextualise things into our own sphere of experience to comprehend them, but nevertheless... I never listened to his show anything like regularly - Mark and Lard, yes, Mary-Anne Hobbs, yes, but never his.
Sufficed to say that: John Peel played their [Kenickie's] demo Catsuit City well before its April 1995 release by the Newcastle-based indie label, Slampt. And without that early exposure they might not have made it how they did, when they did.
And without Kenickie, my life would look quite different. Most of the interesting people and things that I've met and done have happened - either directly or indirectly - because of them. I wouldn't even be in the job I'm in now, and I certainly can't imagine my life without that.
So thanks John. Rest in peace.

Wrong.
He played Rebel Assault from Slampt's Elastic Jet Mission sampler LP.
A mate of theirs then wrote in to Peelie and suggested a session. Peel said yes. And that was how the Nick got their first trip down to London
