When Bexy met Scott...


Bexy

Recommended Posts

Sorry it's taken me so long to get round to this, but like John reported the Internet was broken at uni and when I got back home last night I was too tired to do anything other than eat and lie on the sofa, then crawl into bed!

Soooo... Friday night. I was going to make a banner on the train, but I forgot so I quickly did one before we left for the union. You'll see it later, it's a poor effort. Scott came on stage about 12:30. Chatted to the crowd for a bit and then started playing some tunes. Then he looked around the crowd and I saw my chance, so I held up my 'banner' and he strained to see it, then read what it said and smiled and waved at me! :D Just that made me soooooooo excited!!

I can't remember exactly what Scott played, but there were a few studenty classics like Mr Brightside, he played some Girls Aloud, some classic gay disco (Infernal) and maybe some Christmas songs?

He talked to the crowd a bit more, asked us all to pose for a picture for the Radio 1 website and carried on playing his songs. Then it got to about ten to two and I realised that Scott was probably going to finish playing soon and it would be photo time. I made my way near the stairs to the stage and waited patiently. And waited a bit longer, but it wasn't happening. :( After a while they started to let people up on stage to have their photo taken with him, so I rushed to the front. There was only one group of girls infront of me, by the time we got up on stage Scott had gone backstage. :cry:

So we waited on stage to see if he was going to come back out. I was actually dancing on stage! :-o I tried to hide behind other people though. So we waited, and there was no sign of Scott. At this point, someone I know who works for the Stage Crew at the union said he wasn't going to come back out, and my friends were on their way to tell me.

But.... I noticed that everyone was at the front of the stage, including the people who worked for the union. So I took my opportunity and snuck backstage! :P I had no idea where I was going as I've never been back there so I was just wandering around. I saw a sign for 'Dressing Room' and followed that. When I got there, the door was slightly open and I could see Scott so I knocked on the door (I'm polite even when drunk! :P) and went in!!

He said "Hi, you're Bexy aren't you?". My reply: "Huh? How do you know that?!" Then I remembered the banner... and he told me that he'd been reading the site so knew I was gonna be there! :D We had a really nice chat, mainly and Jono and the site, but we talked about other stuff too, like where I was from and how comes I was at Surrey.

When Scott was on stage he was smoking! :shock: I had no idea he smoked, so I told him off about that! :oops: Then we talked for a bit more about other things that I don't really remember. He was drinking wine (surprise, surprise!) so I commented on that too!

Then I told him that I'd better live up to my geek label and asked him to sign my 'banner' and had my picture taken with him. I'd been backstage for a while at this point, so I thought I'd better go before someone found me and I got thrown out of the union. Scott said it was really good to meet me, and gave me kisses on the cheek! Yup! He kissed me!!! :P

When I came out from backstage one of the girls I was with before asked me if I'd met him... I just pretended I couldn't hear her and walked off. I wasn't gonna let her in on my secret! :P

Oh, he said to tell you all that he was really good. So... he was really good! Hee hee! :P Seriously though, it was a brilliant night. He played a really good selection of songs and kept the crowd entertained for a good hour and a half. :D

    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
    • I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
