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
  • The show was "slightly pre-recorded" as John was attending the BTM awards tonight.
  • Peel mentions his roadshow in Scunthorpe's Public Baths is his favourite venue. He also mentioned that it was nice that a band there did not give him a demo tape when he played. The band turned out to be Carnal Knowledge, who Peel describes as 67% thrash and have a single out called Joanne Whalley, which he would like to hear.
  • Peel mentioned a year ago when he was 'tussling with puberty' he went on a skiing holiday in Switzerland and bought many yodelling 78's and wishes he still has them.
  • Peel plays a track from Princess Stephanie of Monaco called Le Sega Mauricien (The Mauritian Sega).
