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.
The Hybirds were an English indie band, formed in the mid-1990s in Nottinghamshire. Comprising Richard Warren, Darren Sheldon and Louis Divito, they evolved from the local bands The Front and Valve before signing to Heavenly Records, where they released singles such as "See Me Through". They split in the late 1990s, since then Warren has released solo work under the name of Echoboy, Modlang and The Cold Light of Day.
The band did a session for Peel's programme in 1997 and at the end of the year were voted at number 29 with 'Seventeen' in the 1997 Festive Fifty. After the group split, Peel kept interest in Richard Warren's project of Echoboy, who later did three sessions for his programmes.
