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: ”Right, so what you’re saying is I just talk into this thing here and then press this button.” Soledad Brothers: “My name is Johnny, you deal with me now…”
  • The show is from Peel Acres, with JP slightly jetlagged, back from his month-long trip to New Zealand and India – “the first holiday that the Pig and I have had, the first proper holiday, although you could argue that our entire lives are a holiday, in many years.” Music acquired from both countries features in the show, including Samoan Christian rap.
  • In New Zealand, Peel met up with legendary whistling and birdsong star Ronnie Ronalde, who is due to tour the UK shortly - and a session from the great man is now in prospect (first broadcast 23 May 2002).
  • A listener asks if there's any chance of a box set of Viv Stanshall sessions: "Well, it's one of those faintly frustrating, in fact very frustrating, things. Because John Walters always wanted Viv Stanshall to release the things that he did for these programmes on record. But Viv being Viv always wanted to go away and re-record them, and also being Viv, never got very far with the project, which is a pity."
  • At the end of the month, JP is due to DJ at the second weekend of the upcoming All Tomorrow's Parties, curated that year by Steve Albini and Shellac.
  • Peel says the Stevie Wonder track played here had followed him around NZ. Recalls that he debuted and played the LP (Talking Book) in its entirety back in 1972. Says John Walters had been a great Stevie Wonder fan.
  • JP says he’ll give the name of the Sadistik Exekution album that provides the final track of the night at another time.
  • News: Funeral of Queen Mother.
