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 Liverpool beating Nottingham Forest 5-0
  • Peel talks about coming back from Zimbabwe last week and spending record shopping with Andy Kershaw buying more Zimbabwean records from a London record store. Peel then plays a track from a single bought in Zimbabwe by Zimbabwean artist Muddy Face. He also plays another single bought again in Zimbabwe from an Zimbabwean artist called the Shirinhema Jazz Band.
  • Peel is glad that Simon Mayo will be doing the Breakfast show on BBC Radio One, because he will bring humility to his programme.
  • Peel plays the wrong speed of a track from Coco Steel & Lovebomb before correcting it.
  • Peel reveals to listeners and to Andy Kershaw's embarrassment in the studio that Kershaw sang a few bars of Serious Drinking's Bobby Moore Was Innocent when they performed live in Berlin.

(JP: 'I think this was the record of the week in the NME. I left it upstairs, so I can't be absolute certain, I think it was. Jam Rock Massive and KRS-1.')
