The John Peel Music Museum

Seven years after his death, the figure of John peel continues to enjoy enormous influence. John Peel Day soon established itself as an annual event, but soon its shadow will be felt every day of the year thanks to a new online project sponsored by the Arts Council in which the with the BBC. As reported by the NME, there are plans to integrate Peel's record collection (some 25.000 vinyl albums, around 40.000 singles, and "many thousands" of CDs) into the offering of a new experimental digital project dubbed TheSpace.

According to Tom barker, Director of the John Peel Center for Creative Arts, this will be a first step towards the creation of an "interactive online museum that will give access to the entire collection, one of the most important archives in terms of the history of modern music." The idea is to digitally recreate Peel's home studio, so that visitors “can interact with the space and contribute to enriching it, while consulting Peel's personal notes, his archive of sessions or new interviews filmed with musicians” related to some way with him.

If the deadlines are met, The Space will be operational between May and October of this year. Then we can experience first-hand the possibilities of this future online museum dedicated to John Peel.
