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.

Wig Texas

Wig was an American garage rock band founded in Austin, Texas in 1964 with John "Toad" Andrews, Boz Scaggs, Bob Arthur, Steve Miller (briefly) and Benny Rowe. This early version made no recordings and after a trip to Europe, broke up. Benny Rowe returned to Texas, took the name and started another group with the same name, but this time with Rusty Weir, Johnny Richardson, Jess Yaryan and Bill Wilmot. The band only released a couple of singles in the 60's, but their material later was available on various compilation albums.
