Peel Sessions – DIY Music Glory & Elderly Gentlemen from Mayhem - with Mick Derrick from Prolapse

This episode of Beat Motel is a wild celebration of all things Peel Sessions, with Andrew Culture joined by Prolapse frontman Mick Derrick. Together they stumble gloriously through the anarchic world of DIY music, obscure Peel favourites, and the surprisingly gentle presence of that little elderly gentleman from Mayhem.

Expect deep dives into:

The strange magic of Datblygu

How Bridget St John out-folked everyone

Quickspace and the Leicester bubble

And the Peel Session that proved fIREHOSE could still surprise

You’ll also hear about gig disasters, legendary indie heroes, and the absolute mystery of why someone made 500 t-shirts for a band no one turned up to see.

Whether you're a long-time Peel Session nerd or a musical tourist just popping by, this one’s packed with oddities, revelations, and the kind of musical tangents that make you forget what the original point was.
