John Peel wanted these guys to basically be a punk rock parody band, churning out satirical tongue-in-cheek "Part Time Punks"-esque ironic attacks on the scene practically every other week. But Dan Treacy went down this kind of authentic Syd Barrett/Jonathan Richman melancholic direction that completely took him by surprise! Very sad that Peel never gave them another chance
With Peel sessions being released by lables other than Strange Fruit to this day, it's a crime that this one was never released. Would make a lovely 10" together with the Kershaw session.
Just love this band ... first came across them when captain sensible chose smashing time in his top ten records on radio 1 sometime in the eighties.. and it's still one of my all time favourite records .. and this peel session is stunning..
some songs are like diamonds in the dust, yet others are like the dust itself. I missed the 100 gig but was there at ground zero back in 80'.Dan is still alive- gotta get some juice out of him somehow. when the PIPER appears is its glory then there will be a new nest for Treacy to continue his conversation with the world! And Yes Jowe, I believe Mike is planning some kind of candy Floss cabin git together. Be Fine to meet you beachside in St Leonards Feb or March. Bless master Treacy for building this Beautifully ,slightly dysfuntional, team of battered musical Gondolas .Empire made his santa monica call to me late October just gone and lashed off about a love of a few domestic fittings over the blower, "Fuck man, I've even got my own house with a fucking lift in it (prestige!) and George clooney is my effing neighbour!" Thats Mark 'Empire' Shepherd alright, nice that the stars of the firmament are all still in place- go grab it Mark. electrical failure in New Mills on route to Manchester gig (81) still endures as an episode of pure surrealism- when we made the gig late the punters had gone home`! hey mr, have you still got copy of the wham label I drew? This session was some months before I joined I guess- Bernie Beef Ox.
Awesome Band! & Peel Session! Im not very familiar with Television Personalities from the U.K? Or Manchester London? Unfortunately? However? I really like this Band! & Peel Session! I've heard this Band before many times back in the 1980's & they slipped past my radar for some reason? Do they have any more Peel Sessions? Peel Session Albums? Or CD Singles Collections? I should look for? & purchase to add to my Record & CD Collection?

Saw them first time 1984 in Berlin, amazing show, great memories.

Probably the best studio they ever recorded in
Benefit show for Dan Treacy, 100 Club, 8th November 2018.
Look Back is a phenomenal effort
So utterly incomprehensible that this is not available a proper vinyl release.

It was!
Just love this band ... first came across them when captain sensible chose smashing time in his top ten records on radio 1 sometime in the eighties.. and it's still one of my all time favourite records .. and this peel session is stunning..
Bought that single when it came out & b.side King & Country is brilliant aswell
They were brilliant band & he had a great voice.

I just realised that Joe Foster is singing lead on Dorian Gray!
So good.
So sad I'm looking after this man in the picture in a care home now😭
Fresh dancers Gh u serious?
How is Dan doing these days? I look at The TVPs website A Day In Heaven from time to time for news on how he is but it hasn't been updated in awhile.

you should make a song called "I know where dan tracey lives"
You can't drop that kind of info and then step back...
thanx to the uploader.

Vibrant, fresh sounding
this is quintessential ART

The candy floss thing crashed and burned when Dan took Mike's money and disappeared.
Brilliant session and only one what a shame there should have been more.
I think Peel was expecting something different, despite being an early champion of the band.
Great band my fave by these is still Smashing Time(not on this) such an underrated band.

Your spot on !! Smashing time has to be one of the finest 3 minutes ever recorded ...it is beautiful, un selfconsious and pure .. l love it 😁
💞
Gorgeous with a capital G.
Super high quality - what's the source?
Patrick Vehling I think it's from a BBC 6 Music repeat...but I got it quite a few years ago now so can't be certain
Thanks! Love your channels.
such a great time and year (1980).. just a few months before Ian's suicide and Joy Division's collapse
Hey
