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.

Broccoli were a 90's Scottish punk band from Dundee, consisting of Benni Esposito (Bass), Graeme Gilmour (Drums) and Grant Myles (Guitar, Vocals). In later years, Benni was replaced by Scott Stewart (Bass, Vocals). The band released two studio albums during their time between 1995 and 1998, as well as several singles starting from 1994 until 1999, which by this time the band had already split.

Links to Peel[]

Peel seemed to have discovered the band in 1995, according to available tracklistings on this site. Further material from the group including two sessions they recorded for his programmes between 1995 and 1998, were played by Peel.

In a 2016 interview with Punktastic, Graeme Gilmour admitted that he felt the band's first Peel session sucked:

"We record our first Peel Session for the Beeb. It sucks! Then it’s back to Frankie’s to record the mini album" [1]

The band's music was also played by Steve Lamacq. [2]
