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.

  • Start of show: "Hello again chums on tonight's programme, a new session from the Frank Chickens, their first in quite a while and a repeat of our wonderful  tenth session from the Fall. Amongst the records one or two things I bought on a frenzied dash around northern Europe at the end of last week and over the weekend. A dash taken entirely on your behalf of course."
  • Peel mentioned visiting the Netherlands over the weekend to see the Fall at the Waterpop festival in Wateringen, who he thought their performance were terrific.
  • Peel reads a letter from a listener living in northern Spain who complains that he is playing too many Gothic music and not grown up music, which Peel responds to saying what does he mean by grown up music.
  • Peel tries to play Pop Parker's I Ate My Arm, but finds out it was the wrong track and then decides to play a track from Carey Johnson before playing the correct record.
