Preview: John Osborne brings John Peel’s Shed to Warwick Arts Centre

Several generations of music fans grew up cherishing the tones of the late, celebrated DJ John Peel and the records he used to play. A decade on from winning a box of records from the much-missed broadcaster’s shed, poet John Osborne has turned this experience into a critically acclaimed one-hour theatre show.

A treasure trove of memories and stories, John Peel’s Shed received great reviews at last summer’s Edinburgh Festival and Osborne is now taking it out on a national tour, including an evening at Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry. It’s a must for anyone who shares a passion for rare records and the intimacy of radio.

There are two performances of John Peel’s Shed at Warwick Arts Centre on Sunday February 12th, at 6pm and 7.45pm. Tickets are £10.50. John Osborne is a poet and author, and his published works include Radio Head.
