Festive 50 2006 Announced


The annual Festive 50 list, originated by the late, great John Peel and looked to as representative of "The New Hotness," has been released by Dandelion Radio, a web-based radio station. This represents a torch-passing from Radio 1 Presenters Huw Stephens, Ras Kwame and Rob Da Bank, who populated the list from Peel's death until last year, when the list was dropped from the Radio 1 gameplan.
