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
  • Start of show: "A bonny start for bubbling brunette John Walters. I particularly liked the rapping with Overlord X and indeed the rapping by Overlord X. Our sessions come, as Walters said, from the Funky Ginger and My Bloody Valentine. And if you heard him you'll know he played a new tune from the Fall and said that I'd play another one. This is it."
  • Two played from the Public Enemy LP 'It Takes A Nation Of Millions' and three from new Strange Fruit releases.
  • Peel looks forward to a West country trip over the weekend for a couple of gigs. After the show on this evening, he is heading out to see the Pixies.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: "Actually, they come from Yeovil, as I say, and I shall be heading out that way and indeed beyond on Saturday to Totnes, where I am doing a gig with the Royal Assassins and Clear & The Cloud, the Bernhards, Shanks, and the Icebergs. All this starts fairly early in the day, I think, but my contribution at about 8 o'clock in the evening. So that's in Totnes on Saturday - a wide range of entertainments.")
(JP: "And after Bob, Bob, Bob And Bob - there's a kind of logic to this - the Four Brothers.")
(JP: "John Peel Roadshow goes to Portsmouth Polytechnic, I think, on Friday night, and I will be taking the record of that with me and hoping there will be lots of dancing. That's what I want to see.")
(JP: "In case you're wondering why John Peel Roadshow is out and about so much this weekend, Totnes and Portsmouth, this record goes some way to explaining that.")
(Trailer for upcoming Andy Kershaw Sounds of Zimbabwe programme)
(JP: "I'm off to see the Pixies, who start in about 25 seconds apparently.")
