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
  • Two full recordings of the show are available. The first, at over five minutes longer, is clearly running a little slow.
  • A technical problem during the intro is present on both recordings, so the fault is at the BBC end!
  • Start of show: "Well, I always wanted to hate that Hugh Grant, but he sounded to me to be talking some sense there. We love Mark Kermode and we quite like James Keen as well, so a good ten minutes spent there in the company of Radio 1. Tonight we've got a session for you from Fokkewolf, and the Peelenium reaches that g....no, I wasn't going to say 'That Golden Year.' It reaches 1938."
  • The solar eclipse was a disappointment in London, but not for Flossie in Cornwall. Moreover, John informs his listeners that there will not be another series of Sounds Of The Suburbs.

Sessions[]

  • Fokkewolf, one and only session. Recorded 1999-06-13. No known commercial release.
