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.

Flinch

Flinch was an early 90's British indie rock band consisting of Grog Prebble (Vocals, Bass), Paul Smith (Guitar) and Dominic Luckman (Drums). Flinch, attracted press interest as one of the UK's most promising bands of in 1994, following the release of their 1993 debut EP A Dummy to Love and winning Best New Act at that years In The City showcase. Two independent singles ("Ordinary (This Can't Be)", "Faking") on Dilo!, an offshoot of the Vinyl Solution record label, led to Flinch recording a live session in Maida Vale Studios for BBC Radio 1's John Peel at the end of 1994. Flinch submitted the demo for "Days" for inclusion on the cult Volume 12 compilation magazine, alongside notable debut cuts from acts such as Garbage and Catatonia. In 1995, Flinch released a further two singles, "Jamie D" and "Skin Deep", and recorded demos for their debut full-length release, provisionally titled Sincere. Flinch played a set at the Reading Festival which was broadcast live on Radio One. Before releasing their first album, Flinch disbanded due to what was described later as a lack of commitment and direction.
