Music stars from Manchester are organising a special gig in honour of John Peel. Badly Drawn Boy, Stephen Fretwell, Haven, Tractor (a band signed to Peel's seventies record label Dandelion Records) and two "mystery guests" will perform at the event, being called 'Christmas Kicks', at the Southern Hotel in Chorlton on 19 Dec. The plan is for the various artists to perform tracks that appeared in Peel's 'festive 50s' over the years. Tickets are £12 each and can be bought from Piccadilly Records on Oldham Street, Manchester - all profits go to Amnesty International.
