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.

  • This show is an A-Z of independent releases, selected from the backlog of unplayed records. This alphabetical rundown ends at N and Peel apologises at the end to Bill Nelson, whose record would have been the next one played.
  • Peel has been away in the Netherlands doing the Pink Pop Festival again, and also did a gig in Eindhoven. The latter wasn't a success, he says, but on the plus side he found a good Indian restaurant in the city. He cites the Specials, the Jam and Joe Jackson at Pink Pop as being very good.
  • A full tracklisting is also available courtesy of Tishbriz's John Peel Book at Flickr. Many thanks to Tishbriz for sharing the information. [1] (Note incorrect date.)
