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 says he spent some of the most enjoyable nights of his life at Scunthorpe Baths Hall (where he did an annual gig for many years).
  • First “serious mistake” spotted on the Peelenium – as the Lonnie Donegan track was supposed to be ‘Lost John’ rather than ‘John Hardy’, which was from a few years later. Peel rectifies the error by immediately playing ‘Lost John’ (“one of my absolute favourites in the history of the world ever”). According to the QEII Hall box office, only around 100 tickets remain for the Donegan gig with Half Man Half Biscuit the following night (broadcast 07 October 1999). JP plays the third Donegan track of the evening shortly before the end of the show.
  • Joe Liggins’ ‘The Honeydripper’ was programmed as Peel was reminded of the R&B classic by listening to the Egoexpress track that precedes it here.
  • News: Japan's worst-ever nuclear accident.
