I always thought it was an odd choice to use the bloke from Shameless for the adverts instead of the guy with the deep husky voice.

I've heard rumours that he is going to take over as the station voice too after this event. I really like the deep voice over (Louis Mellis)

Just applied for tickets too!

I think Aled has a fair point about the over-promotion in his latest blog. Most of Radio 1's live event budget goes in to this event, and it is quite an amazing line-up. Certainly a great way to compete with Reading/Leeds and V, Radio 1 are hardly not going to shout about it.

Oh and, download the Moyles podcast next week to try and win tickets... and interview a (Big Weekend) artist of your choice.

Exactly! meet my favourite artist yes - I'd love that. But to have to interview them? That invoves work - researching and framing questions.

Work's only a prize if you want exposure in a certain field. I guess it'd be a good prize for aspiring broadcasters/journalists. I'd rather go for a few drinks with the artist myself.

UM is a nice place

If they were your favourite artist you wouldn't need to research.

I'd ask The Fratellis how much buckfast they drink to get that Scottish voice, or CSS if they have a Brazilian or secretly have a hollywood waxing. Or Rihanna if she really holds an umbrella or if a servant does it for her. And finally, I'd ask The Pigeon Detectives what the latest news is on bird flu.

I applied for weekend tickets, can't see me being successful somehow. For some reason they'd rather give tickets to people who can nip over to the venue from over the road, than those prepared to pay to travel half the country to go. Sticky argument though.

Some intersting air guitar videos on YouTube. A lot don't seem to have understood the concept of picking a song with a guitar rift - such as picking Mika.

Enjoy!

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
