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.

Dodgy are an English rock band formed in Hounslow in 1990. The band rose to prominence during the Britpop era of the 1990s. They are best known for their hits "Staying Out for the Summer", "If You're Thinking of Me", and "Good Enough". The last was their biggest hit reaching No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart. They released their first album in over a decade, Stand Upright in a Cool Place, on Strikeback Records in February 2012. The band were born from the ashes of Purple, a trio from Bromsgrove and Redditch, who had moved to London and was composed of Nigel Clark on bass, Mathew Priest on drums and David Griffiths on guitar. Shortly after their arrival in London in 1988, Frederic Colier joined the band as the bass guitarist, with Clark providing vocals.

Peel played one of their early singles in 1991, before they released an album or had commercial success during the mid/late 90's. As Britpop became popular, Peel rarely played any of the band's material except when he was presenting Glastonbury, where the group performed. However, Peel did praise the group on his 18 August 1996 show, when they played in the Bosnian town of Tuzla to raise money for artists who were stranded in Bosnia during the war. The band also contributed to the Rock The Kop: The Hillsborough Justice Concert, which Peel compered and was passionate about the cause. An album was released of the concert and Peel played tracks from it including Dodgy's contribution in 1997. During that year, an easy listening cover of Dodgy's Good Enough by Lance Gambit Trio was played on his shows.

On Peel's show on 05 February 2003 he played Dodgy's CD picture disc of "Feather Cuts and Monkey Boots", thinking it was a group called Easy Way with a song title called Milk The Paw after a mix up when he requested people to send in their records earlier that year.
