In case anyone is wondering why I've been making edits to loads of artist pages - I decided (with over 3000 artist pages already up) that it was about time to sort out the alphabetical order on automated lists (ie, category pages).

For example, the Artists: A category section included Adrian Sherwood, who would probably be better as an "S artist". Also, both Aaron Neville and Art Neville - probably both better under N.

At the suggestion of User:MemberD, simplest way to do this is using the defaultsort function. For Adrian Sherwood, for example, just add {{DEFAULTSORT:Sherwood, Adrian}} at the bottom of the page (in the source editor window) and save. Like magic, Mr S is now sorted under S.

Having now finished A artists, struck me that I could probably do with some help if this is ever going to be finished - so if anyone wants to start with Z artists and work backwards, I could meet them in the middle somewhere.

All help much appreciated.

Quite quickly, actually. I've been a long time user of the JP Wiki/Mooo server, previously a member of the Yahoo group, and recently joined the io group. I was a John Peel taper too, back in the day.

I joined the Wiki generally to become a part of this wonderful community, but specifically to update a page. A track John played on the April 3rd 1979 programme by a band called Black Mambazo was unidentified. It isn't on YouTube but I tracked it down on Discogs. It's called Matshutshu and it's the B side of a single. A fun piece of African Kwela pennywhistle music.

Hopefully I can be of some small help in other ways.

All the best

It seems all the 1993 max-dat tapes mooo links are dead. Thanks for the great work.

Does anyone know why an 'AFT' band is listed as having a session on Sessions (Artists A)?

I presume it's referring to this band but there's no mention of them on the Keeping It Peel sessions list and I couldn't find any play of them on the show on the wiki. Anyone know where this session is from/mentioned?

Hello...

I've been looking for a recording or at the very least a set list for John Peel's Radio 1 show on 30th January 1979.

I've done some research and I've discovered that he played four tracks from a session recorded on the 24th by The Lurkers. Earlier in the day The Molesters recorded a session which was broadcast on 6th February.

The reason I'm interested is that I was born seven minutes into the broadcast and I'd be amused to know what track Peel was spinning at the time!

If anyone has any other information or could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

Thanks for this amazing site...

Hello. Thanks for this excellent database. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it seems that the Mooo link for 10 January 1993 (BFBS) is dead (i think the whole folder containing other shows are dead too). Thanks in advance.

I think this would fit in along the Festive Fifty & Record Box categories, and I also think it's important enough to be mentioned on the artist's page rather than just a link to the list of records that share the same letter (that can still be linked in "Other" though)

I've added one for Lightnin' Hopkins since that was the first record he played on air, but I would like to get some opinions before others being added.

Hey guys,

I am looking for a very rare recording that I believe was aired on John Peel sessions in the radio. It was a fusion of a calm monotonous but amazing tune and the speech of psychedelic guru Terence McKenna. His speech in this record was from 1992 and can be found on the internet under The Camden Talk (starting from We are in a kind of tightening spiral...). I used to have it also in mp3 and apparently it used to be on a tape because there was a folder called Side B, or maybe Tape B (can't remember). Also it was uploaded on youtube for many years before they deleted it. I am not able to google it anymore, what makes it hard is the favt that I don't think behind this record was some actual band that John Peel used to play, rather an ocassional mix of sound with mckennas talk... Anyone able to help find it? Perhaps the year of a talk can serve as a lead... Thanks!

Does anyone know roughly how many setlists there are for shows that weren't recorded / aren't in circulation? I'm interested in creating recordings of these. I'm new to all this but I noticed something called John Peel Papers, is this an archive of setlists?

I'm pretty sure Peel played Elephant Stone when it was out in late 1988. Does anyone else recall this ? Anyway I always felt his aversion to them was a bit childish. As if we were only supposed to vote for stuff he liked. Even the great man himself was not perfect ;-)

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it seems that the Mooo link for Nov. 25, 1985 is dead. It's not working for me anyway!

Ever since the new software went live I've struggled to add a new mixtape page. I have done it, but I think I stumble across the way to do it by accident and can then never replicate it.

I do try to follow the instructions but somehow fail. I ADD a new page from the New Mixtape template and give it a name (the latest one is Re-Play). Am I then supposed to highlight and copy the detail of the Mixtape template and paste it onto my new page? Or have I misunderstood that...

Apologies for being dim...

Hi, I got John to read out birth messages when my two sons were born.

I used to have the recordings of them but can't find the tape so am looking for the shows after the respective birthdays.

Roughly, the first message would have been read out sometime during the period 08/07/97 to 17/07/97

And the second message would have been read out sometime in the period 08/05/2001 and 17/05/2001.

I can see from the spreadsheet that some of the shows during these dates are available - how can I listen to them?

Thanks

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me locate a recording of the Festive 50 from 1993? I noticed on the page there was a recording with the description:

a) The recording starts in the middle of the number 49 track. The final file ends at 00:31:47. The rest is silence.

Unfortunately, that download is no longer available. I would be very grateful if someone here could possibly re-upload that version or maybe even send me a link somehow?

HI, does anyone have copies of the files that are held by the British Library?
