Events

 * Radio: BBC Radio One, 8.30 pm - John Peel, 50th Birthday Special presented by John Walters.
 * The show featured a surprise live gig in Peel's honour recorded the previous night at Subterranea, London. Due to the surprise nature of the event, Peel's own pre-recorded show for the evening was postponed and broadcast the following night. It had been pre-recorded to allow him to spend his birthday at home with his family. (info and full tracklisting on Peel Wiki)
