Sons Of Harry Cross "smiling through gritted teeth" - reports

The OneMusic strand on Radio 1 was set up to keep the Peel flame alive, although as Andy Kershaw, a man never noted for kowtowing to his paymasters, has noted it says a lot about both sides that John has been replaced by three men. They've done a Festive 50 for this year, which we hope Rob Da Bank and/or Huw Stephens carried through in full by keeping a longhand tally of votes, featuring Kate Bush's first ever appearance, a surprisingly low Half Man Half Biscuit turnout, a top three entry reminiscent of the Peel-angering storming of the list by Smells Like Teen Spirit in 1992 and a surprise number one for a track given away free on their site, which comes in handy here, from a Liverpool indie scene veteran also making a 50 debut:
