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.

Comments
  • In the past week, Peel and family have been to see Pavement at the Junction, Cambridge - “and extremely good they were too.”
  • Sessions includes a repeat of the Chumbawamba cover versions debut: “There was a certain amount of debate over this. People wrote in and said that they perceived the session and the tunes that Chumawumba chose to do as being some kind of comment on the nature of these programmes. And that may be so frankly, but I thought it was quite an amusing idea and continue to think it was quite an amusing idea, so I shall press along with that and not get sulky or anything. It doesn’t matter to me whether it was or not. I enjoyed it.”
  • Two tracks are played from the Wawali Bonane LP. JP is so enthusiastic after the first that he nearly plays it again, but he holds out and plays a different one later in the show.
  • Peel is heading off to mainland Europe and will be doing inserts for other programmes in the next week. His own shows the following weekend (09 October 1992 and 10 October 1992) are from Berlin and the one the following Friday (16 October 1992) is due to be live from Budapest.
  • Says he had been planning to play only records from 1967 in the current weekend’s programmes, as part of Radio One’s 25th anniversary celebrations, but decided there were too many good new releases.
