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.

Stanton were a British indie band formed in the late 90's featuring Simon Hughes, Bob Davies, Joe Thompson and Chris Thompson, plus various other members along the way. Having formed while at college in Watford, after a few cassette only demos, they formed their own label Jonson Family Records and self released a number of 7" singles and an LP called Walking Songs (also available on CD on Tritone (UK)). They also appear on various compilations and a Victory Garden 7". An demos/outtakes cassette only compilation called Walkman Songs is also still available through the Victory Garden label. Simon now records as Fupper and Chris and Bob play in the band Hey Colossus.

Stanton's only Peel session was broadcast live on 11 December 2002, alongside other 10-minute sets by fellow Jonson Family bands that had previously appeared on The Twominutemen 2x7" compilation. A similar event took place on 23 July 2003 with other artists from the series.

Peel nominated the Stanton album 'Walking Songs' as his album of the month for March 2003 (Peel's Record Box).
