I think I heard but might be wrong Jameela's now covering for Greg: EDIT - Adele is see below

No, it makes sense for Grimmy to be off if nobody else from the regular line up is on (although I do hate that Bank Holidays are always a bit half arsed on Radio 1- I'd just like everyone to carry on and do their shows as normal).

I don't like Dev's cover shows either- he never seems to put much effort into them (although most of his recent cover has been weekend/bank holiday, when it's the B Team anyway). I'm looking forward to him in for Greg on Wednesday though- some cover on a normal weekday where he can actually do a proper show instead of just short links between records.

I think Bank Holidays should be different in either having specialist takeovers or 10 hour takeovers or trying out new presenters. Does seem odd that Nicks left it now to decide he's not coming in... Does seem odd Gemma being on at 4am - would have thought have been better for Radio 1 to put Gemma in Gregs slot with Adele in at 4am unless Adele refused

On Friday, Nick made a comment during the Breakfast show saying that he wasn't sure if he was going to be working the Bank Holiday or not because "management don't tell you". Whether this was a joke or not, it makes sense that he is now not doing it because he was off on Easter Monday holiday as well which was a bank holiday. I'm sure I can remember Nick having previous Bank Holidays off as well.

Excellent first link from Adele....:cry: "It is Adele who is in for Dev who was in for Grimmy, who was supposed to be in for Greg. I'm now in for Greg who is kinda skiving...." I am sure she is a very nice woman but what the....

Grimmy is turning into Moyles taking all bank holidays off.

It would have been good to hear Matt Edmonson today, or Phil Taggart in for Greg.

Nearly all Breakfast DJ's have bank holidays off - if I'm right Grimmy's only done 1 bank holiday and that was because of Radio 1 Big weekend with either Scott or Dev covering

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
