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 again chums, it's John Peel's Music On BFBS, your old pal feeling somewhat dazed actually after a flying visit to Germany: not so much flying as high-speed motoring. To start the programme, this is..."
  • During his travels through Belgium, Holland and Germany for Travels With My Camera: Autobahn Blues, JP had the opportunity to play a gig in Bochum, and treats us both to a detailed description of it and some of the requests he received when he was there. One of the records he plays, by the XL Capris, is described as the most-requested record on BFBS (Felix Culpa's 'Terrorist Love Tourist' [1] being the second).
