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 plays a request 8 years late, originally posted in 1979, the listener wanted Love Affair by the Tearjerkers, which he plays on the show after discovering a bunch of unopened mail from that period.
Peel mentions liking the sleeve of the Hollow Men's LP.
Peel says his favourite song from Finland at the moment is Melrose's Coming Out Soon, which he plays on the show. He then plays another Finnish artist called Kusela covering the Four Voices' Sealed With A Kiss.
Peel mentions that he is disappointed for tomorrow as Nick Kershaw is cancelling a gig in Ipswich, which he was going to review for a newspaper.
