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.

Links To Peel[]

Peel was interested in McCulloch's work when he saw his band Echo & The Bunnymen supporting The Fall at the Factory club in Manchester on 20th July 1979. McCulloch's solo material was played frequently by Peel in the 80's and the artist was invited to do a session for his show in 1989, which was repeated in 1990. On Peel's 11 December 1993 show, McCulloch provided a Football (Guest Reviewers) match report of the game between Liverpool and Swindon, which had ended as a 2-2 draw.
