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.

  • Peel refuses to play Heart records after a listener requests a track from their Dreamboat Annie album. He does include a track by Freddie King, who had died in the previous year - despite having expressed criticism of the guitarist's work ten years earlier, on the Perfumed Garden. There are also two tracks by 1950s rockabilly duo the Farmer Boys, not to be confused with 1980s Peel session artists the Farmer's Boys.
  • Peel mentions to listeners to listen tomorrow's night programme as the Slits are performing a session.
  • Peel plays tracks from the Dead Boys' Young Loud And Snotty album.
  • Peel mentioned doing a gig in Preston on Saturday, where a fellow asked him to play a track from the Gladiators on the show, but forgotten about it and instead plays a track from Carl Malcolm featuring Ranking Trevor.
  • Peel plays tracks from Richard Hell & The Voidoids' Blank Generation album.
  • Peel plays a track from Bunny Wailer covering Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up.
  • Peel mentions seeing Liverpool play on Saturday with the Motors and embarrassingly for him during the half time announcement, they announced his presence with the band and played a track from the group, which the band were chuffed at.
