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.

The Visitors were a band from Edinburgh that had three Peel sessions.

Links To Peel[]

On the 25 March 1981 show (when the second session was repeated), Peel mentions that the only Edinburgh band he's failed to meet up with during Radio One's week in Scotland are the Visitors. Later in the show John McVay from the band turns up at the studio for an interview.

Peel gave the band the money to release their second single on their own label. The third single featured two tracks taken from the band's second Peel session.
