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.

Peel turned up at the Cafe Royal for the British Rock & Pop awards on 26 February 1980 to introduce the Radio 1 DJs award winners, Jerry Dammers/The Specials, who picked up the prize via satellite link (the band were actually in Washington with Andy Peebles). The television coverage was broadcast the following day, as well as simulcast on Radio One. (see below).
