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.

(JP: 'A bizarre night at Peel Acres last night, because I'm going away for about a week, details of that of course when I get back....We decided to have a couple of friends round for a bit of a drink, something to eat and so forth before I went off. People come round to our house all the time, and one of them is the chap who's just got a new woman friend, she's got two children. The two children (frankly I can say this cos they're not going to be listening to this programme cos they can't hear BFBS! Unlucky them, eh?), in a more enlightened age than ours, would have been burnt at the stake, there's no question about that. They go storming into our children's bedrooms: "Hallo! We've just come to have a look around!" They say, "This is my bedroom what are you doing?" "Well, we're here now." They're really pushy kids.....It was one of those evenings when you just want to say, let's stop this right now...just go away, we'll reconvene in a couple of weeks' time when you've had some kind of therapy. What is the matter with you people?')
(JP: 'When I lived in San Bernadino, California, you know, I used to work on a radio station, KMEN. It was my job to broadcast every weekend the British charts, and that was in the British charts, you'll be astonished to hear, although it was never a single, 'cos obviously I made the charts up. There were several tracks by John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and things that were in there as well. My goodness me, I was a bit of a rebel, you can imagine.')
(JP: 'And in next week's John Peel's Music From BFBS, Eilert does Long Tall Sally in a version of it so far removed from the original I'd say he had a good case for calling it his own composition.')
