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.

  • Tracklisting compiled with the help of Paul Bryant's Night Ride Playlists and Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions, which lists Ron Geesin and David Symonds as additional studio guests.
  • The tracklisting is not in order of play, as an audio from the file below (according to the John Martyn fan site Big Muff[1], the only surviving track from the session) has Peel saying The River by John Martyn is the last session track on the show. Also worth pointing out that Martyn's debut session, like most JP Night Ride sessions, was never repeated on a Peel show - although, like other sessions recorded for him, it may have been rebroadcast a few weeks later on a Night Ride hosted by another presenter. 
  • The Fugs' track is the source of the "Out, Demons Out" chant popularised in the UK by the Edgar Broughton Band.
