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.

  • Historic first session from Ivor Cutler, live in the studio with Bob Cobbing. Also tracks from "Tommy" by The Who.
  • Peel dedicates a Leonard Cohen record to his brother Francis, whose wife Sarah has given birth to their first child.
  • The Swedish Shepherd Song from the BBC archives has its origin from Finland, where there is a large Swedish speaking minority.  JP mentions the singers are from Sweden, but doesn't mention who they are, apart from stating that there are two women singing the song. The folk song is called "Kling klang, klockan slår", which in English means "Kling klang, the bell chimes".
  • Much more on this show at Kat's Karavan.
