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.

  • Michael Smith, 'Roots' (Peel Session)
  • JP: 'It was Kid Jensen on the telephone...You have to be very careful what you say to Kid, because occasionally if you see him in the corridors around Radio One, you say to him, you might say something offensive to him as he goes past, something like, "I've not seen a pair of trousers like that since Yes played at Crystal Palace", or something like that, or "Crosby Stills And Nash broke up the first time", and he'll sort of laugh about it and then, like a month later, you'll be talking to somebody, and they'll say, "Hey, Kid was saying that you really thought his trousers were no good, and he really worries about these things a lot". So he wanted me to point out to you that 'King Is White And In The Crowd' was actually written while Simple Minds were recording a session for his programme: it says at the bottom of the label, and he's awfully proud of this, "With thanks to David 'Kid' Jensen". There you go, his little moment of glory.'
