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.

Sessions[]

Tracklisting[]

(JP: "Being a deeply cultured kind of a chap, I went last night to the Athenaeum in Bury St. Edmunds for a piano recital: Schumann, Schubert, Debussy, Chopin, that sort of thing, and I have to admit, particularly during the quieter bits of the Debussy, the temptation to stand up and say 'Anyone fancy a pint?' was very considerable, but I did resist it.") [1]
(JP: "I do like the way they shriek, I must say.")
(JP: "I think if it wasn't for this programme, you could have gone to your grave without having heard that.")
(JP: "As I'm sure you know, after Sound City in Leeds in April, this programme moves to Sunday nights, and we shed another hour, which is another fabulous challenge. Not quite sure how we're going to cope with that, but we won't be having eight minutes and forty-five second long numbers, which is what that was.")
