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.

Snuff

Snuff are a British punk rock band formed in Hendon, London in 1986. Their name reportedly came about after a long discussion about names ended up with one of them claiming "That's Enough", which was then shortened to Snuff. The original line-up was Duncan Redmonds on drums and vocals, Simon Wells on guitar and vocals and Andy Crighton on bass, with Dave Redmonds being added to the line-up on trombone before the release of Flibbiddydibbiddydob. In 1991, Snuff split up. During this period all three members applied to be the bassist for Leatherface. The break-up also spawned Guns 'N' Wankers and Your Mum. Both groups disbanded when Snuff reformed in 1994 (read more on wikipedia).

Snuff - Standing in the Shadows of Love

John Peel got the band in for a session after seeing them play with Heresy and Rose Rose in November 1988 at the Sir George Robey music pub in Finsbury Park, London. Peel continued supporting the band by playing tracks from the group until the late 90's, when it seems he lost interest in them. On Peel's show from 17 August 1996 (BFBS), he admitted to having doubts about the merits of the group's cover of the Four Tops' "Standing In The Shadow Of Love" single:

"I don't know about that, y'know. I kind of like it, I mean I like the idea of it, but I don't know, it doesn't work 100% for me".

After 1997, Peel rarely played any tracks from the group.
