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.

Avrocar

Avrocar were a post rock band from Birmingham, England active between the late 90's and 2013. The group have been compared to Nick Drake, Kraftwerk and My Bloody Valentine and have been cited as an influence by acts as diverse as Radiohead, Deerhunter and Tropic Of Cancer. Members included Perry McDonagh and Anthony Harding, the latter having a solo career under the name of July Skies.

In 2004, Peel nominated their Guidence EP as one of his records of the month for July 2004 (Peel's Record Box). He also played tracks from Anthony Harding's solo project called July Skies, where he nominated his, At The Height Of Summer EP, as one of his records for the month for January 2001 (Peel's Record Box).
