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.

  • Peel, somewhat unwillingly it seems, has to chair part of a phone-in competition to tie in with Radio 1's '31 Days In May' strand. He is to ask three listeners sports related questions, which the first listener wins. The prize is to go to the European Championships Final in Sweden, and share accommodation with JP himself. Later in the programme, John plays back his "professional" performance for a second time...
  • Reveals that he had to miss the Sony Awards because he doesn't have a lounge suit.
  • The final track appears to be missing, so an almost complete show. Perhaps the last fragment will turn up in the SL Tapes. PS it now has

  • (31 Days in May competition)
  • Swirlies: 'Didn't Understand (7 inch)' (Slumberland)
(JP: 'I've been dreading the actual conducting of the competition on the air, because as regular listeners will know, I'm not terrifically skilled technically. Very much a kind of two turntables and a microphone and a CD player with great reluctance man.')

  1. ↑ This was apparently the trigger track for listeners to ring in for the competition.
  2. ↑ Peel claims he bought it on a holiday in Kenya in 1972. However the single wasn't released until 1975
