Most gigs seem to be over 18 and festivals seem to have "over 8" rules this annoys me as I have a 17 year old daughter who has 6 week old baby so this rules out her coming with me to hear bands on 99% of occasions.

I'm going to Knowsley Hall this year - any of you even heard of it? Me neither, but The View are playing so I'm going.

UM is a nice place

Wish I could've afforded the 2 days, there's also no camping which makes 2 days a bit tricky, the last time I trained it up to Merseyside I stood all the way next to a smelly broken toilet as well, hope Virgin Train have sorted their act out..

I can't wait to see The View live though! :D

I would have gone the Saturday but my prom is the night before and I'm going a party the night before...

I would have loved to see The Who haha

I heard that the coral are doing both days, or maybe the zutons, Im not sure which!

And there are more acts to be named arn't there?

Yes I think so - oo I'd love it if the Zutons did the Saturday as well! I heart them, especially like Valerie.

A party and a Prom night - you'll be well tired after the festival then!

Yeah, that's why I decided not to go on the saturday because my last exam is the thursday, my prom is the friday and I'll be staying at a house party afterwards and I'm supposed to be in work the next day.

Which I highly doubt, haha

so yeah sunday was for the best. 1-11pm though!

I'll have one huge lie in on the monday! haha

Doe you have far to travel then, to get there?

Is it really in knowsley safari park or am i just getting mixed up? haha

Grace, who were the support band then?

It's Knowsley Hall isn't it? I think it's by Croxteth Park somewhere, and Roby. I do have a long way to come, yes. I live in the area between Windsor and Reading. It's well worth it though, and some people regularly get the bus to Dundee from down here - 10 hours!

Hmmm guess I'm one of those middle aged people at gigs, I would never grope anyone though - the most I can say is that I've been accidentally crushed up against some lovely young lads at times just because of the moving around of the crowd...and that beer all over you thing, it's so icky but somehow a gig isn't a gig without it. :D It's going to be weird when no-one can smoke any more

Wow! How many people are you going with?

I've had to sort out ID and everything because you need proof of being over 16 if you're going without an adult.

It should take me half an hour maximum to get there, it usually takes me about 20 minutes to get into Liverpool city centre.

10 hours in a bus, ouch >.<

Slightly off topic but I can't wait for the no smoking thing! I hate coming in from a night out and smelling of smoke

Yeah, and the parents jump to all kinds of conclusions. Eh? hello?! I was just in a room full of smoke, doesnt that make much more sense? Obviously not.

Sadly all alone as far as I know at the minute but have hopes of persuading a friend from down here to come with me...I was going to say I'll wave if I see you but unless you're holding a picture of your avatar I won't see you, of course. :D

Wonder if anyone else from here will end up going?

      Radio 2 Schedule Changes

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
