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
  • Start of show:"Mr Branston is it now, how very pleasant to hear Alan Freeman back on Radio 1 FM albeit briefly in the Beatles programme". The Beatles reference is related to the BBC Radio One documentary The Beeb's Lost Beatles Tape that was broadcast before Peel's show.
  • Peel mentions that Erwin Blom from Dutch band Eton Crop is going to Ghent in Belgium to report to him about Belgian New Beat music and then plays a Belgian New Beat track from Chinese Ways.
  • Peel says that his favourite record to play loud with his son William in the car is a cassette from a German thrash metal band called Mottek.
  • Peel mentions laughing at a letter written in the Guardian newspaper by a reader who mentioned that the reason Pru Forrest is silent in the Archers is that she is a member of Sinn Fein. [1]
  • Peel plays a Polish track from a record sent by a listener from Poland and is surprised how listeners in that country are able to listen to his shows. The track comes from a Polish band with a German name called Klaus Mit Foch.
