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.

(JP: "I just opened another present, in fact: I should have more of these birthdays, perhaps several a year, like members of the Royal Family. I think it's only the Queen that has two birthdays, but I reckon I ought to have a couple as well. My chum Winston Smith has sent me posters and still photographs from my two favourite films ever, which are Repo Man and The Blues Brothers, so those will be up on the wall back at Peel Acres before you can say 'night'.")
(JP: "My thanks again to Arnie Matthews for this excellent LP: I look forward to hearing the entire thing. I shall drive my neighbours mad with it. Actually, I haven't got any neighbours, but if I had, I should drive them mad with it.")
John Peel: Eddie In Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Eddie (Birthday Card) (Travis Wammack)
(JP: "I shall always regret that I never saw any of their final gigs: really stupid of me not to go. They were on in Leeds, my name was on the door, and I was sitting at home about five o'clock in the evening, and I thought, no, I'll just stay in and get an Indian takeaway and watch the television instead. And I should not have done that.")
