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.

  • Peel says at the beginning of the show that he'll try and not to talk about his recent visit to Zimbabwe and Zambia. But talks about it anyway, mentioning that there were 3 radio stations in Zimbabwe.
  • Peel mentions he didn't buy any records from Zambia, as he was only one day in the country at the Victoria Falls.
  • Peel mentions he was 10 days in Zimbabwe and Zambia all together.
  • Peel mentions seeing John Chibadura perform at the Red Lantern in Zimbabwe and said the singer was shy in performing, by singing at the beginning behind a pillar. He plays a record from an album by him, which he bought copies in Zimbabwe.
  • Peel mentions that the Zambian border officials were impressed by his knowledge of Zambian music and says that he and the official sang in cue, Samora Machel by Shalawambe.
  • Peel said he went with the Pig and Biggie Tembo of the Bhundu Boys to see the Four Brothers perform at a club in Zimbabwe and the crowd were so impressed with the Pig's dancing that at the end they applauded her.
