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: “Hello, listeners. We’re down at Maida Vale. I think this is going to be one of those programmes in a few years’ time you brag to your mates that you were listening to it.” JP enjoys the show so much he partly loses his voice in the course of it.
  • Before the band's set, Peel says (whispers) that the Datsuns were “shit hot” in rehearsal. Highly enthusiastic about their performance afterwards as well: "I don't want to go all corporate on you, but do you get anything this good on any of those other crap stations that you're sometimes tempted to listen to? I think you don't."
  • Part two of the Pig's Big 78 will be played the following evening.
  • Plays Simple Minds track, “a great favourite of mine from whenever it was”, after reading in a paper that the band are suddenly hip again in California.
  • A Clifford T Ward track from 1973 is played as Samurai Seven will cover the song in tomorrow night’s session.
