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 reply to an email from a listener, JP says one of the best gigs he's ever seen was Pink Floyd at Mothers.
  • Peel previews the upcoming Sex Clark Five session (broadcast 11 June 2002), which will feature all T-Rex tunes (“for some reason or other”), by playing one of the original tracks.
  • A listener asks if a steam engine called John Peel at the East Anglian Railway Museum was named after our host: “I think it must be the other John Peel, famed in folksong and legend. It would be good to have a train named after you I suppose, but it’s not me.” Posthumously, Peel did in fact get a train named after him.
  • The World Cup has kicked off. Over the weekend, a highpoint for Sheila was Ipswich’s Matt Holland scoring for Ireland in the 1-1 draw against Cameroon. Peel says he was playing the Baucom Bibey & BlueRidge album as the ball hit the back of the net.
  • The album of Black Sabbath covers in Latin by Estonian outfit Rondellus was supplied to Peel by Terrorizer magazine.
  • News: The queen’s golden jubilee celebrations come to an end.
