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
  • Peel mentions reading a book written by Bruno Brookes based on his life in a corner of London. He also mentioned that he met Roy Jenkins, who thought that he was a taxi driver waiting for him.
  • Peel mentions that a listener, Neil, who he met in Manchester wants to know who did the track 'Cabrini Green', that he heard often on his shows. He asks listeners to write in to answer the question, as he can't remember who did it. In fact it turns out to be Sugar Ray Dinke, who did a track called 'Cabrini Green Rap'.
  • Peel plays a track from Laibach covering The Beatles' Two Of Us.
  • Peel plays a track from Half Japanese covering Jimmy Reed's I'll Change My Style before playing the original version.
