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.

Rothko

Rothko was a British post rock group from London and founded by Mark Beazley in the spring of 1997, playing their first show at Hope & Anchor in August the same year. The original lineup consisted of Mark Beazley, Crawford Blair, and Jon Meade.  

In 2000 Mark signed a publishing deal with Mute Song. The original lineup disbanded in 2001, and Mark carried on the Rothko name. Late in 2001, Mark signed a deal with Too Pure Records. In 2001, he started his own label, Trace Recordings.

In 2004, the lineup consisted of Mark Beazley, with Michael Donnellly on bass guitar, Ben Page on keyboards, and Tom Page on drums and percussion. The group toured extensively in France. In October of 2010, they amicably parted ways to concentrate on new musical endeavours.
