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.

"My favourite magazine is The End from Liverpool, which concerns itself with music, beer and football. The very stuff of life itself." (John Peel)

The End

The above quote comes from Peel's only known appearance on the Oxford Road Show, in 1982 or 1983, when he interviewed the editors of the cult fanzine. It also had pride of place on the front cover of an anthology of all 20 issues of The End that was published in late 2011. [1]

Peel was an early champion of The End and an interview with him was published in issue #5 in 1982. He also turned up in its celebrated Ins & Outs lists in both categories. [2] Later, he became a consistent supporter of The Farm, the band led by The End co-editor Peter Hooton.
