Summer on Radio 1

[Jono]

All systems are go! Sounding quite impressive...

[Riz]

Ooh yeah, quite enjoying this. Liked The Fray's cover. Just waiting for the red button to get going now...

[loz]

Heyyyyy im in preston. didnt get tix for today. did for tomorrow but decided to go down to moor park... i heard jamie t! but my sis wouldnt stand around. also they didnt corner off the VIP entrance til after the gates opened so we walked past and saw none other than laura and then James and i think Mary walked behind us en route to the guest list entrance!

Cant wait for tomorrow!!! it looks really impressive/ the tent i mean. it isnt raining yet either (started dribbling slightly before.) Also touts are selling tix for £50 outside. There is absolutely LOADS of touts too.

[Jono]

£50 isn't bad I would say, but still, nasty touts! Do get us some snaps Loz. Thanks for the updates, it's sounding pretty good on the radio too. But I wish they'd play the live music sooner.

[Riz]

Id pay £50... :whistle:

Not bad considering the price for other festivals.

[Kelly]

I want to be there! The Pigeon Detectives are sounding amazing!

[Jono]

The big weekend is much better on digital television at the moment. There's a schedule, and it's all going out in full. Odd as you'd hope Radio 1 would play the music in full and the highlights on TV. That's something I've never understood, same with Live8.

The promotions are sounding good for the shows. Scott features talking about Gaylord the Dog, haha.

[Kelly]

I'm watching on the TV. I always preferred TV coverage than radio. Is that the Twang on now?

[Riz]

Yeah, much preferring the tv right now, instead of radio 1 giving you a live performance every half hour.

And yeah, thats the twang. I quite like them. Cloudy Room is good, i hope they play that. The crowd dont look impressed anyway.

[Grace]

Oh no, Natasha Bedingfield. I wonder if she'll string out the "babies babies babies" bit.

[Jono]

I had my reservations, but she does sound amazing singing Unwritten. Annie Mac's doing well on the telly. I love those Radio 1 figures they have.

[Ema]

Im so glad im not out there tbh, its really windy here and my hairs a mess so obviously not a good look haha.

Ah well mabye next year *le sigh*

Im singing along to Natasha, oh im just too sad, glad no-one can hear me.

[Grace]

I had my reservations, but she does sound amazing singing Unwritten. Annie Mac's doing well on the telly. I love those Radio 1 figures they have.

I've been invited to go see Natasha in concert, (for the second time :oops:) I might actually take up the offer.

And me too Ema, my mum's out in the garden so she can't hear.

[Riz]

Blergh, Natasha Bedingfield, i really cant stand her. I remember her singing with Jamie Cullum at Live8 Edinburgh, it was truly awful. Every time ive seen her live on the telly, shes been crap, imo anyway.

[Jono]

Really? But it's in a ruddy tent, I keep telling my folks that. They're like 'I bet your glad you didn't go now, it's windy and wet'.

[Ema]

Most of the people are from Preston :|

Come to Harrogate next year! PLEASE!

[Grace]

This lady sounds actual mental, take her ticket off her and make her leave!

[Jono]

But you've got Leeds festival. Did any one just hear that rough woman saying 'where's the sexy boys? where's scott mills and jk and joel?' - ooh er.

[kitty]

Last year it was absolutely freezing! Had to drink tea all afternoon!

[Ema]

But you've got Leeds festival. Did any one just hear that rough woman saying 'where's the sexy boys? where's scott mills and jk and joel?' - ooh er.

Im not going to Leeds, didnt get tickets in time because my friend was like umm well, and err well mabye, then we just left it too late.

Yeah, I heard the woman, I was like oh err missus.

[Jono]

I know, but you could still go. The general idea of the Big Weekend is it'll go to an area where there isn't presently a big festival. And most of them are southern.

[lewebdalex]

Hello There,

Does anyone know the name of the voiceover for almost all the ads for the Big Weekend. It's a guy with a quite strong accent from i don't know where.

Here is a clip from his voice : http://www.radios-fr.com/bigweekend.mp3

Thanks,

Alex.

[loz]

Id pay £50... :whistle:

Not bad considering the price for other festivals.

Yeah... i would have payed it too... the only thing that stopped me was that 1/i dont trust touts and 2/ my sister wouldnt let me

Dont worry Jono LOTS of snaps tomorrow.... im trying to convince my sister to come down with me later to listen to razorlight but she aint budging. i got a timetable thing - gutted cos apparently klaxons and the view r on the same time on diff stages... i wanted to see both of them.

[Jono]
