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.

West Country (Frome) post-punk group that had two singles played on John Peel - Don't Misbehave In the New Age/Machines and Terraplane Fixation/Shell Shock.

They initially sent a demo to John Peel who sent this reply 'Dear Ralph, enjoyed your tape - played it to Walters and he wasn't so impressed. Is there any chance that you might bring your own record out? I think you should. I can imagine gigs in your area must be very hard to come by. I take your point about the major 'punk' bands and agree with you up to a point. Anyway, keep in touch - John Peel

The band was Susan Wells - vocals, Ralph Mitchard - guitar, Nigel House - bass, and Geoff Norcott - drums. The band were offered a Peel session but the group had already broken up by then. Wells and Mitchard formed a new band the Terraplanes who had their self-release Evil Going On/It's Hip played on the show.
