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
  • Peel mentions he didn't like Men They Couldn't Hang's last single or their second session.
  • "Janice has been in stereo tonight .. twice as lovely. We're hoping.. Gary Davies will be in stereo fairly soon - one channel for each face (laughs)."
  • The 1986 Brit Awards had taken place that evening and featured on Janice Long's show with simulcast with BBC1. Peel sarcastically comments on Huey Lewis & The News being voted Best Band, and laments there was no special award for himself, "after 25 years of broadcasting".
  • File 1 has the first hour of the show.
