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 Bruno Brookes liking the Bogshed's Champion Love Shoes, before the latter speaks and says it is fantastic.
  • Peel mentions he was going to play two tracks from Mongo Mange Gattoo in a row, but mentions there was a technical problem and therefore plays the 2nd track from the group after the Da Vincis.
  • Peel plays a Japanese track that he couldn't identify until after the record was played and found out it was from Shigeru Izumiya. He also plays another Japanese track from a group called Paris on the show.
  • Peel mentions tomorrow night he's going to see Europe perform (this was with his son William)
