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.

Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame were an English new wave band from Liverpool, England, which consisted of vocalist Steve Byrne, instrumentalist/producer Ronnie Stone and later, keyboardist Clive Gee. They released six singles between 1981 and 1985.

Steve Byrne and Ronnie Stone first met around 1980/81, while Byrne was singer in a punk/new wave band called The Posers. Stone was a member of 1970s duo Next, with Philip Franz Jones who would later become a member of Afraid of Mice.

The band's name Freeze Frame was named after the album by Godley & Creme. Before Freeze Frame, the band was known as In a Glass Darkly, doing gigs alongside China Crisis.

Clive Gee from Afraid of Mice joined Freeze Frame around the release of the single "Foxhole", which was their only charting single at No. 105.

The band did Radio One sessions for BBC Radio One in 1983 and 1984, one for John Peel and the other for Kid Jensen. A new version of "Touch" was released in 1985, renamed "Touch (Re-Touch)".
