Undertones

The Fall and The Undertones are to play a gig in honour of late Radio 1 DJ John Peel. Both bands will perform at Epic Studios on October 10 as a launch event for the new John Peel Festival Of New Music. The show will also see Peel favourites Bearsuit and Dingus Khan play before the three day festival itself kicks off in earnest with over 50 acts performing across 10 venues across the city from October 11-13.

John Peel relives The Undertones' brief but brilliant career with the five founding members, friends, helpers and some great old clips. Describing the problems of success, the rift with Feargal Sharkey and the final split, the band defend their reformation with a new singer.
