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.

Cuban Heels

The Cuban Heels was a Scottish New Wave band formed in Greenock, Scotland in 1977 by Laurie Cuffe, Paul Armour and Dave Duncan. John Milarky of Johnny And The Self Abusers joined in October 1977 as lead singer, when that band split. Many of the members of that band later formed Simple Minds. The Cuban Heels seemed to have split after their debut album ('Work Our Way To Heaven') in 1981.
