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.

BMX Bandits

BMX Bandits are a Scottish 1960s-influenced guitar pop band who have been making music from 1986 to the present day. Formed by songwriter and lead vocalist Duglas T. Stewart in Bellshill out of the ashes of The Pretty Flowers, a group that featured Stewart alongside Frances McKee (later of The Vaselines), Sean Dickson and Norman Blake (later of Teenage Fanclub). The group have had many line up changes throughout the years.

Links To Peel[]

Peel started playing the band's material during the height of the C86 music scene and met singer Duglas in Bellshill, whilst filming for Sounds Of The Suburbs, where both went to a fish and chip shop in the town and tried the local delicacy of fried Mars Bars, which Peel found pleasant to eat. He later was introduced by Duglas to the popular drink of Buckfast Wine in the town, which Peel described as interesting and not a drink that would be popular at Peel Acres.
