Maximo Park in just over a month. I might go to a Little Man Tate instore gig as well. Now I have my exam timetable, I will be looking out for gigs to go to. I just didn't want to book any that were the night before a 9am exam, it does kind of ruin the mood.

And, of course, did I mention Leeds...?

I'm really happy with the number of bands I've seen and will be seeing, it's just my bank balance that is starting to become slightly unhappy, at least it will do when the money gets taken for 4 tickets for Leeds (I have a cheque to pay for 2 of them now though).

Ooh, have fun Ema!

Well, now it's (almost) certain, I can tell you. This might not technically count as a gig, but it's something I'm going to in November that I'm so so excited about. It's MPH, which is a big car show presented by Jeremy Clarkson, possibly James May and RICHARD HAMMOND! And there's a chance to meet them backstage! I can't wait!

Here's a link to a highlights video of the South Africa one:

It looks fantastic!

Okay im going to boast about Mcfly now so here go's..

It was such a good night, although we had to wait ages and ages for Lil Chris to come on, we were let in at about 7 and waited an hour an actual painfully boring hour because all I kept saying to my friend was Ohh myy god Mcfly are in this building and squealing a bit, im surprised my friend didnt shout at me to be honest!

Lil Chris was really good although I couldnt really hear him well(was a bit quiet bless him) and he's really small! He only played one song out of 4 that I knew and I thought Id lost my voice before Mcfly.

When Lil Chris went we were getting really excited because we were 3 rows from the actual stage and it was an alrite view and all I could think about was Danny! ahah sad I know.

Anyways, then right there were funny movements from behind the big curtain and the lights went down and BAM oh my on they came, well I nearly fell weak at my knee's hahaha.

They played loads and loads of old stuff aswell as new stuff and did Dont stop me now and also a cover of Jellyfish or something which is going to be their next double a side.

They were so so lovely and were picking on the girls at the front cos their banner was traced.

Dougie was near us for most of the night(Serin, I saw his Pants!) but Danny(I saw his pants too) and Tom Came over to say hello aswell and Im going to Marry Danny one day! :D

And Dougie smelt nice too(had to add that one in didnt I!)

(God im obsessed)

Anyway, they were great and I cant believe It was all over so quickly, they're actually in Poole the day after I leave(in 2 weeks) am trying to persuade my parents to stay one more night!

Ill get some Photos put up in a sec but my camera ran out of battery right at the finale and I was like NOOOO

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
