@ReggieHere Feargal is as excellent a narrator of modern life problems as he was a singer.

Always recall that upon playing 'Teenage kicks' by the #Undertones song on his show John Peel decided it so good that he played it again.

@helvick @AoifeGreenhamIllustrations As well as Steven Rea, Paul McLoone from The Undertones was the go to person for mimicing Martin McGuinness. He describes the bizarre nature of it in this short audio piece:

- The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Sex Pistols -

Berlin, 2025

Friends of mine thought it would be a funny present. It was a bit dusty in the waiting room, though. However, Stiff Little Fingers and Teenage Kicks made my day.

Upon first hearing "Teenage Kicks" in September 1978, BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel is reported to have burst into tears, and readily admitted to still being moved to tears upon hearing the song in interviews granted to journalists up until his death. To judge songs he had heard for the first time as to worthiness of airplay upon his show, Peel often rated new bands' songs with a series of asterisks, with each song judged upon a scale of one to five asterisks: Peel was so taken by "Teenage Kicks", he awarded the song 28 stars. On one occasion, he is known to have played the song twice in a row, with the explanation given to his audience being, "It doesn't get much better than this."

Legendary #Undertones are a rock band formed in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974. From 1975 to 1983, the Undertones consisted of Feargal Sharkey (vocals), John O'Neill (rhythm guitar, vocals), Damian O'Neill (lead guitar, vocals), Michael Bradley (bass, vocals) and Billy Doherty (drums). Much of the earlier Undertones material drew influence from punk rock and new wave; the Undertones also incorporated elements of rock, glam rock and post-punk into material released after 1979, before citing soul and Motown as the influence for the material released upon their final album. The Undertones released thirteen singles and four studio albums between 1978 and 1983 before Sharkey announced his intention to leave the band in May 1983, citing musical differences as the reason for the break up.
