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.

  • (Jim) "I got this in trade back in the day and it's either the master or first gen copy. I traded tapes a lot in those days & if someone wanted something in trade from the UK I would usually just ask them to tape the next John Peel show for me."
  • (Jim) "Session guests include Oil Seed Rape (1st session) and PJ Harvey (3rd session). John also premiers the new Fall single 'Why Are People Grudgeful?' and generally appears to be having a grand old time. It's thanks to this recording I discovered The Nectarine No 9 LP 'A Sea With Three Stars', which is one of my favorite discoveries. Hope you enjoy this recording as much as I do."
  • JP saw Sheffield Wednesday v. Ipswich Town on Wednesday 10 March, but didn't enjoy it (the Tractor Boys lost 1-0).

Listen to the track entitled Matchatcha Wetu, dedicated to Andy and you.' Well, I have listened to it once and it does mention the BBC at one stage, but I may have got that wrong. Listen to it yourself and see what you think.")
