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 mentions he had a choice to go either record shopping or a Mexican meal, but decided the latter.
  • Peel plays a track from Urge Overkill, who do a cover of Jim Webb's Wichita Lineman, famously done by Glen Campbell. Urge Overkill later in the 90's did a cover of Neil Diamond's Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon for the film Pulp Fiction in 1994.
  • Peel says he didn't have a good night sleep at his mother's house, because of the circle line tube train noise.
  • Peel plays a track from Roy Orbison covering Chuck Willis' It's Too Late.
  • Peel mentions having bureaucratic problems when trying to cash £25 because they wanted proof that his name was John Peel rather than John Ravenscroft, which is his real name. He finally managed to get it cashed in, by asking someone to verify him at the place.
