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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'You will notice in the Tractors record, several references to Howard Devoto and here's Howie!')
(JP: 'Last Friday the Pig and I went out for dinner some people we didn't know terrifically well, around to their house and instead of taking the usual bottle of rather nasty wine, I took along my spare copy of the Bhundu Boys LP for them and when we got there, they were playing, genuinely playing an LP by Dire Straits (Peel does a spitting sound) and I gave them the Bhundu Boys LP and they put it on and played nothing else and it wasn't me either, they played nothing else for the next 3, 3 and half, 4 hours, something like that, quite right too')
