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.

  • For one night only, the Peelenium turns into the “Pigellium” to mark 1948, the year The Voice entered the world. Peel himself appears to use the term “Pigenium”, despite (or perhaps because of) his hatred of portmanteau terms such as "Premiership"
  • Something of a Supergrass special, similar in style to other early Peel Acres shows in that it was assembled after the actual visit of the band, who get a guided tour, choose a selection of records, and play live in the garden.
  • Peel retells a few old stories for his guests, including how he was once billed above Hendrix at a gig at a university (Southampton, he thinks). Says he has another poster on which he is billed above Pink Floyd.
  • Also recalls that Steve Jones once tried to pick a fight with him in a pizza house.
  • Claims that the one time he went to Japan he immediately felt at home, more than he would have done somewhere like Leicester.
  • Remembers Spaceman 3 reacting badly to having their b-side cut short.
  • Says he saw the Primitives with Echo & The Bunnymen in Birmingham.

Sessions[]

  • Supergrass #3 live at Peel Acres, recorded 1999-07-23. Four tracks appear on the bonus "Mary Live" EP released with the Australian version of the band's eponymous third album. Tracks also available on various CD versions of the Mary single.
