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.

  • Several recordings are available. The first a) with just the last song and link available. This clip is at the start of a recording of Tim Westwood's show (wrongly dated to the same date in 1995), and it is interesting that Peel ends his show with a German-language hip-hop track (from an album that achieved considerable commercial success in its homeland), as if to distance himself and his view of hip-hop from Westwood's heavily US-dominated idea of it, just as his view of pop and rock music generally differed from the "Anglosphere" view of most of his Radio 1 colleagues throughout his career.
  • The second recording b) includes the full three hour show.
  • Files c-f contain selected dance/international tracks in very high quality.
  • First play for a new band from Glasgow called Mogwai.
  • John offers his support to Jarvis Cocker following the incident at the 1996 Brit Awards.
