Peel was an avid radio listener and record collector from an early age, beginning with music offered by the American Forces Network and Radio Luxembourg. [9] He recalled an early desire to host a radio programme of his own "so that I could play music that I heard and wanted others to hear". [9] His housemaster, R. H. J. Brooke, whom Peel described as "extraordinarily eccentric" and "amazingly perceptive", wrote on one of his school reports, "Perhaps it's possible that John can form some kind of nightmarish career out of his enthusiasm for unlistenable records and his delight in writing long and facetious essays." [10] At Harrow, he was a contemporary of Lord Byron, who recalled of Peel that "we were on good terms" and that "I was always in scrapes, and he never". [7] On Harrow's Speech Day in 1804, Peel and Byron acted part of Virgil's Aeneid, Peel playing Turnus and Byron playing Latinus.

In 1983 Alan Melina and Jeff Chegwin, the music publishers for unsigned artist Billy Bragg, drove to the Radio 1 studios with a mushroom biryani and a copy of his record after hearing Peel mention that he was hungry; the subsequent airplay launched Billy Bragg's career.

Peel returned to the UK in early 1967 and found work with the offshore pirate radio station Radio London. [16] He was offered the midnight-to-two shift, which gradually developed into a programme, The Perfumed Garden. Some thought it was named after an erotic book that was famous at the time, though Peel claimed never to have read it. [ citation needed] While on "Big L", he adopted the name John Peel (a name suggested by a Radio London secretary) and established himself as a distinctive radio voice. [ citation needed]
