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.

Ex Post Facto

Ex Post Facto was a British band from Liverpool formed in early 1980 and featured Chris Clarke (a.k.a. Chrissie Clarke) on vocals (later Placenta Sisters, Goat People), Frank Sparks on keyboards, joined by Paul Reason on guitar (also US Companion, Keep It Dark), Bernie Carroll on bass (later of Young Lions), and Mark Coleridge on drums (later of Glitter Band, Smokie, The Stiffs, Project 23, Glass Torpedoes, I-lands). The band developed a synth-goth style that, if not totally original, was well representative of that period, combining keyboards with Siouxsie-like vocals. Between the year 1980 and 1983 the group released three singles.A testimony of the hectic live activity of the band is their only LP ('She’ll Rape the World’ recorded live at Pickwick’s (Liverpool) on April 25th, 1984. Earlier the same year Ex Post Facto also released a Peel Session. During live appearances guest musicians were Judith Laity (cello, also Goat People, Royal Family & The Poor), Andy Warren (guitar and backing vocals, I-Lands), Karen Halewood (on keyboards, also Rebél Da Fé, Royal Family & The Poor), and Pete Chegwin (also on keyboards, Danse Macabre, Oceanic Explorers, Innervision).
