Wow, very nice pictures Catherine.

Did you manage to see most of the people you wanted to?

Most of them.

We were very tired by sunday so for a lot of the bands we sat outside the tents. Still decent atmosphere and sound though.

Missed Paramore, although i've seen them at Brixton already so wasnt that fussed.

Who were your favourites Chris?

I was really suprised by Nelly, my friend dragged me along to see him and he wasnt actually too bad!

Oh really? We were catching The Wombats then. Pretty decent. DId Kelly Rowland perform with him? Heard about that from someone.

Yeah she did at the end. I dont like Nelly at all, but it was probably the suprise of the day for me! Pigeon Detectives were also alright, and the singer deserves a 10/10 for effort after continuing with the gig after hurting himself!!

I thought the UM coverage of the event was spot on. I liked the immediacy of the two regularly updated feeds (twitter and photobucket) on the minisite while you were both there as well as the additional pics posted after. It was almost like being there for those of us that couldn't be, when added to the BBC coverage. Cheers!

Watched the Pendulum video earlier. That bloke who was "MC"ing really grated on me after a while.

He did get quite monotonous. Fortunatly he didn't interrupt Propane Nightmares once :)

I loved listening to it on Radio 1 :D

I agree, I almost felt like I was there!

Funnily enough I'm pretty sure I spotted someone who looked like him. Loads of random celebs were there, Sophie Ellis Bexter being one.

Isn't she married to someone from The Feeling? Making it slightly less random :D

Ah yes. You'll be OK with a parent.

Yes, there were people of every age when I went to Preston, even a couple of grey-haired grannies enjoying Mika, I remember. I also saw at least one person aged about 7 or 8 years old

Imagine Chico saving you from a plane that had ditched in the ocean :shock:

Old brass bed warmer? It isn't me - honestly...

UM is a nice place

When you saying your going to be there what exactly is going to happen?

Another person who doesn't read threads? The Big Weekend was in May.

    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
