John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

  • Start of show: 'And guess who's going to both Belgium and Finland within the next couple of weeks. [1] On tonight's programme we got the Radio One debut of the Mangrove Steel Band and a repeat of a recent session from That Petrol Emotion. Lots of intriguing records as always, well at least I think so, we start with the Stupids'.
  • Peel mentioned seeing the Mangrove Steel Band on television about 18 months ago and thought it would be nice to have them do a session for the show. He then forgot about it until he saw a sticker on Marylebone Road, London saying 'Support The Mangrove Steel Band', which he decided that he must get them in to do a session.
  • Peel says that Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show will be a thrash night special between 10 and midnight, which he said he will look forward to listening to it.
  • Peel plays a track from the Descendents called 'All', which only lasts for one second long.
