"There'll be a tour bus, amplifiers and a bowl of actual blue M&Ms."

* Cardiff (Monday 7 September)

* Leeds (Tuesday 8 September)

* Glasgow (Wednesday 9 September)

* Indigo at London (Thursday 10 September)

"Sorry folks we can't go to Northern Ireland, this is Piers Bradford's fault. But it's because of the bus, we can't use the bus for two days if we were to go there". They rest assure listeners they'll try to get to Northern Ireland soon.

Bummer that you can only enter for one night. I'd have gone to Leeds, London or Cardiff. Ah well, I've applied for the IndigO2 gig and will make Hannah apply too.

Let me check that. I think it's one entry PER VENUE not at all. Let me check first though.

I don't know what made me think that but it does say "applications are capped at one entry per person per event" so I wasn't sure what they called an event - the venue or the whole tour. Plus Dave said one entry per person this morning.

Can't beleive the tour isn't coming to Northern Ireland, always get left out over here and the excuses this morning were poor, as was said on the show, its a hour or so to NI on a ferry from Scotland so how Aled could say there was no time to get everything set up baffles me, surely it takes longer than an hour to get to Cardiff etc driving. Really poor to leave out Northern Ireland when your doing a tour of the UK and should it not have been sorted out the start to accomdate us, we do a pay a licence fee and listen to the show too.

If it's an hour from NI to the nearest venue surely that's no different to say me having to travel between three and five hours to each venue? They didn't say they'd be able to cover every where in four days.

To defend them, they did give a few reasons, clearly had looked in to it, and it's a 4 night tour: it could only be 4 nights, the band are booked on the Friday for a festival (look up Rockaoke), and it's got to make sense with the show. With the travel thing, it's no surprise they're STARTING in Cardiff.

They also clearly said that they will be coming to NI in the near future too: they recognise people will be upset, and will make up for it.

The bigger scandal is that Aled didn't make the tour line up with the diaries of UM members.

Fair enough, I don't expect them to cover everywhere, it would just have been nice for the 4 countries of the UK to be covered. I feel if they really wanted to they could have covered us over here and the tour should have been set up so that the tour could have accomadated all 4 countries, Aleds excuses seemed this morning just to be a bit flimsy.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
