Radio 1's Small Weekend 2007

Recommended Posts

I envisage a new festival, a big festival with a small heart. Oh yes, I've had a few late nights but I've come up with this ameezin' idea. Radio 1 may be targeting new listeners with their 'big weekend' but I propose a 'small weekend' just for the oldies. The die hards. The creme de la creme!

We rope in a few old DJs - Wes for instance, may be even Spoony - let's face it they're not doing much. And a few bands too. Sugababes and McFly spring to mind, they always do a Radio 1 event, it's what keeps them going.

Best of all, we've got an old music tent. In old music, indeed we trust! A good mix of 70s, eighdees, and 90s. Headliners include Chaz 'n' Dave and at night we'll have a mobile disco coming from some of the top disco DJs in the area.

We've even come up with this idea 'cold violet saint' which we graffiti on people's cars, on post boxes, and attach to bricks and throw through windows. All for great publicity for this event.

And best of all we let the ticket touts sell the tickets. That way we ensure those with the money, and are actual die hards, pay the money to go. We need to cut some slack for those ticket touts - they work all year round to try and ensure we get those tickets at a great price, and Radio 1 go and wreck their work. We say no to this conventional idea, let them sell them!

Remember Radio 1's Small Weekend, it's coming, but hush, unlike other Radio 1 events we're going to keep it toned down!!

So... are you ready?!

I hope Mr Blobby and Bob the Builder will be appearing.

I suggest the event is held in a pair of tents each shaped like the old White City Stadium and pitched in the grounds of BBC White City. This will allow presenters to walk there from Yalding House each morning following blue arrows held upside down by disaffected locals on minimum wage.

UM is a nice place

I think a Camp Radio 1 Weekend would be more than appropriate!

Sure there are no end of people who'd jump at the chance to start this one off!

Campsite arrangements very important!

It's theme could be CMF maybe? Chilly Mauve Fairy. You like?

Nx:D

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
