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.

Lightning Seeds

The Lightning Seeds are an English alternative rock band from Liverpool, England formed in 1989 by Ian Broudie (vocals, guitar, producer), formerly of the band Big In Japan. Originally a studio-based solo project for Broudie, the Lightning Seeds expanded into a touring band following Jollification (1994). The group experienced commercial success throughout the 1990s and are well known for their England football anthem single "Three Lions", a collaboration with David Baddiel and Frank Skinner which reached No. 1 in the UK in 1996 and 1998. It has re-entered the Official UK Charts on every world cup football year since 1998.

Links To Peel[]

Peel played their debut single, Pure, which was a 1989 top twenty hit in the UK Singles Chart, but commercial follow ups did not add to his playlists, except the tracks Lucky You, Sugar Coated Iceberg and Ferry 'Cross The Mersey with Holly Johnson from the live album, You'll Never Walk Alone - The Hillsborough Justice Concert, which raised money for the Hillsborough victims, after Peel was the compere at the concert.

There was no Peel session, although Broudie had recorded earlier ones with both Big In Japan and Original Mirrors.
