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.

Snatch was a punk group consisting of Patti Palladin and Judy Nylon, two Americans who moved to the UK in 1974. They recorded a number of demo's at Patti's flat in 1976 two of which IRT and Stanley were released as as a single six months later in February 1977. Another single All I Want narrowly missed the upper reaches of the charts in March 1978. A final single Shopping For Clothes surfaced in April 1980. In between Patti featured on Chris Spedding's Hurt (1977) and The Electric Chairs' Things Your Mother Never Told You. (1979).

After Snatch, Jody did one solo album and several singles, whilst Patti did a lot of collaborative work with other artists working with among others as Johnny Thunders and even The Flying Lizards on their Fourth Wall album of 1981 where she wrote the lyrics and sang on 5 tracks before becoming a gothic chanteuse notable on the Batcave scene of the early '80's.

Patti still writes and performs to this day.

Links to Peel[]

Peel was fond of Snatch's I.R.T. song that he listed it as one of his favourite songs of 1977 in his own 1977 Festive Fifty. Further tracks from the band continued to be played by Peel, but in his opinion, it never matched the level of I.R.T., which he preferred.
