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.

Dormannu

Dormannu was a punk/funk/gothic band from the UK. The band consisted of Simeon Warburton (vocals), Wig (bass), Lizard (Marcus Scott) (drums), Christine Johnston (keyboards) & Mark Tinley (guitar). The band toured with The Danse Society in 1984.

Marcus Scott and Mark Tinley were also in the batcave band Let's Wreck Mother. They apparently had a huge falling out over Marcus putting blue joke dye in the rim of Mark's hat making his forehead go blue. Mark refused to go to a band rehearsal that day and left the band. Mark Tinley later formed another batcave band Tabatha's Nightmare with three other people and eventually forgave Marcus who then joined the band, as well. Mark Tinley was also in the hip hop/synth-punk group Diskord Datkord with Johnny Slut of the legendary deathrock band Specimen.

Simeon and Mark are both still making music. Simeon did sound direction for an independent film called "Luminal" which won an award at a film festival in Rome.
