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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: "Welcome to the second Sight and Sound concert, in which the Radio One In Concert programme is joined by BBC2 television viewers. If you have a stereo radio tuner, you can tune into Radio One and Two's VHF frequency, the legendary 88-91 MHz and turn down the TV sound and enjoy the music in stereo. Or, looking at it another way, Radio One listeners can quickly tune into BBC3 television and thrill to what I suspect is called a simulcast. And if you are still with me, time for one of the best working bands in the country, those masters of rhythm and melody, the Jess Roden Band!")
