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.

Delta 5 - mind your own business

Mind Your Own Business

  • Late Seventies five piece Leeds band, who were contemporaries of Gang Of Four. They were unusual for the time, and indeed now, for having two bassists in their lineup which gave them a distinctive sound.
  • Peel was very enthusiastic about their debut single 'Mind Your Own Business', adding it on the night's show the day it arrived at the office (see 27 November 1979). The band were soon booked in for their debut session, which merited several repeat broadcasts. The group's double A sided second single was also heavily featured on the Peel show, although his preference was for the track 'You' which effectively became the second A side of the 7" when eventually issued.
  • Peel managed to see the band play live in July 1980 [1] and was greatly impressed with them.
