I think part of the fun is travelling to the venues. Like with Reading and Glastonbury. If you love music, you'd pay the price.

thats true. of any music scene you travel to get to the best venues if you love the music you're into. people travel for ages to get to global gathering and gatecrasher etc.

on the grid.

hehehe i live in chorley which is like 15 mins away from preston GET IN!

have to say though, struck me as unusual to have it here, hardly the most exciting town/city ever.

glad they did though because next year il be one of those people down in exeter going "but why do they never bring it down sarf'?"

i think its because down sarf has enough going for it anyway, us northerners do need entertaining every once in a while too.

and if you check 19/20th may is before A2 exams.

well my exams anyway :-)

Welcome aboard! It is... although ideally for those travelling up it'll take time to prepare and recover, time Year 13s like me should be revising! Lucky you though for living nearby. Do keep in touch, nice to hear from the local residents, and tell your friends.

For christ's sake, there really are other towns and, believe it or not, Cities in the south of england...

Southampton Portsmouth Brighton Maidstone Dover Ashford Reading Swindon Oxford Plymouth Exeter Newbury Wantage Winchester Andover Salisbury Bristol Crawley Torquay Weymouth Taunton Poole Bournemouth Eastbourne Hastings Canterbury Chippenham Woking Basingstoke

EDIT: And Southend-On-Sea...

Loads of places to hold it.

FACT.

I dunno, I went to the Chart Show Live in Brighton, not London. It'll probably be equally as expensive to go whether for me. I think if a big weekend happened in Norwich or somewhere it'd be a bit boring. It's like having your friends round your house, you'd rather both be going somewhere new.

      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

      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

      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.
