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.

  • Session guests The Toques were previously called Buick 6 but had changed it after receiving objections from another band of the same name. The session consists of covers: "Jealous Again" (Black Crowes), "In My Time Of Dying" (Bob Dylan etc), "Louise" (Human League), "Out There" (Dinosaur Jr.).
  • Sheila is said to be "a lot happier after Ipswich's 3-1 win at Portman Road this evening." They had beaten Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup.
  • Peel receives an email from Serbia, sent by the Nab Woodley's. He mentions that they had taken a couple of boxes of surplus 12" singles from Peel Acres to donate to the B92 radio station in Belgrade.
  • John had watched "Trisha" on ITV that morning and had ended up in tears at one of the stories featured.

JP: "Sometimes on this programme we move pretty slowly and sometimes on this programme we move pretty quickly. Over the weekend I heard a demo by a band called Part Chimp and read about them actually, in the Independent as well, there was a good review of one of their gigs. Today I think, we phoned up and booked 'em to do a session for us in October."
JP: "The Pig's Big 78 for you now. With a war due pretty soon, The Pig chose as her Big 78 tonight a reminder of how much fun was to be had in a previous war."
JP: "Now I love The Pig in a way which I can barely describe to you, to the point of madness. But if she played guitar like that I think I'd be able to love her even more."
