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.

Revelino

Revelino were an Irish alternative rock band who were active in the 1990s and early 2000s. Irish band Revelino was based on Dublin’s south side, they released 3 critically acclaimed albums during their time. They first appeared on the Dublin gig scene in late 1994. The band’s sound was somewhere between the walled guitars of the shoegaze era and a 60’s pop sensibility reminiscent of the La’s. The band had gained enough attention by the end of 1994 for “Happiness is Mine” to be voted into Dave Fanning’s ‘fab 50’. The second album ‘Broadcaster’ solidified their reputation in Ireland. Released in 1996, the album also contained the song ‘Step on High” which received airplay on the John Peel show. It was later revealed that this single made it into Peels legendary Record Box, quite an achievement given the scope of the legendary DJs musical knowledge.

Peel was particularly fond of the band's Step On High track, which was one of his singles of the year in 1996 on A Year In Muzik. He would often play it on his programmes, well after it's original release in 1996 and after his death, a copy of the single was found in his record box.
